There\u2019s never been a better time to be a Predator<\/a> fan. A few years back, Dan Trachtenberg brought the series back to rude health with the knockout Prey<\/a>, dialling the clock back a few hundred years for the tale of a Comanche warrior woman battling an intergalactic hunter. Then, this year, Trachtenberg followed it up with the eye-popping animated gore-fest Predator: Killer Of Killers<\/a>, produced concurrently with the franchise\u2019s return to the big screen (both Prey and Killer Of Killers were Disney+<\/a> exclusives) in the much-anticipated live-action Predator: Badlands. The latest Badlands trailer shows that Trachtenberg isn\u2019t resting on his laurels \u2013 instead cranking up all the dials and giving us a completely different Predator movie than we\u2019ve ever seen before. Check out the thrilling new trailer:<\/p>\n

Ooft, doesn\u2019t that look stellar? In a major shift for the series, our hero this time is a Predator<\/a> (or, Yautja) itself, young warrior Dek<\/a>, played by Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi \u2013 who, despite his fearsome appearance, is the runt of his hard-as-nails family. We look set to follow him as he ventures to a planet where death lurks around every corner, on a hunt where he can prove himself to be tougher than the rest. Except, he looks to be seriously out of his depth, taking on all kinds of malevolent flora and fauna. Thankfully, backup comes courtesy of Elle Fanning\u2019s android Thia (or, the top half of her at least), providing some much-needed support to Dek on his journey.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s plenty to be excited about with this trailer \u2013 the action looks epic, the scope gigantic, the beasts colossal. The odd-couple pairing of Dek and Thia promises some top character tension, and the mythology glimpsed in the final act of Killer Of Killers seems like it\u2019ll be expanded upon even more in this story. All that, and we\u2019re still desperate to know if Thia being a Weyland-Yutani android<\/a> means that a Xenomorph will pop up<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll find out when Predator: Badlands comes to cinemas on 7 November.
