According to the lore given to us by the franchises, these Aliens and the Predators have been at war with each other for ages, and with a brand new movie from the Predator franchise, titled <a href=\"https:\/\/beebom.com\/predator-badlands\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Predator: Badlands<\/a>, coming our way, you would love to know if the Alien franchise and Predator: Badlands are connected.<\/p>\n<p>Is The Alien Franchise Teased in Predator Badlands?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"640\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Android.jpg\" alt=\"Wayland Yutani android from Predator Badlands\" class=\"wp-image-1017598\"  \/>Image Credit: 20th Century Fox (via YouTube\/@0th Century Fox, screenshot by Shashank Shakya\/Beebom)<\/p>\n<p>If you are yearning for a good version of the previous Alien vs Predator movies, you might be in luck. The reason I say this is that Predator Badlands might just have confirmed that there are prospects for a crossover between the Alien and the Predator franchise.<\/p>\n<p>In the trailer itself, we are introduced to Thia, an android that the Predator discovers on the planet he is out hunting on. It is confirmed that Thia, the android seen in Predator Badlands, is a Wayland-Yutani android, the central figure of the Alien franchise.<\/p>\n<p>Elle Fanning confirmed in an interview as well that <a href=\"https:\/\/beebom.com\/elle-fanning-says-playing-double-role-predator-badlands-easy-because-this-reason\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">she is playing the role of two Wayland-Yutani androids in Predator Badlands<\/a>, and it was easy for her as the two characters never share the screen together.<\/p>\n<p>Now we can\u2019t say with certainty when it will happen, but there is a very good chance that the next outing from the franchise could give us an Alien vs Predator reboot, considering that the Xenomorphs are back in action with releases like <a href=\"https:\/\/beebom.com\/alien-romulus-review\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Alien Romulus<\/a> and Alien Earth.
