Elle Fanning is set to star in the next ‘Predator’ movie, titled ‘Predator Badlands’, with Disney pushing for the production to release next year.
‘Predator Badlands’, the next installment of the ‘Predator’ movie franchise, now has a release date in theaters: November 7, 2025. This was confirmed by Disney, granting it he date reserved so far to the reboot of ‘Blade’ as part of the MCU by Marvel Studios, leaving the superhero vampire film with an indefinite delay. Thus, the alien hunter franchise will return to the big screen after seven years, since the last movie -’Prey’ (2022)- which premiered directly in streaming through Hulu.
Elle Fanning will be the protagonist
The film began filming this summer in New Zealand, confirming Elle Fanning as the main protagonist, so a direct sequel to the previous film is ruled out. ‘Prey’ was set in the Great Plains of America during the 18th century. Coincidentally, the movie was extremely well received by both critics and the public.

Furthermore, director Dan Trachtenberg returns to the saga after his previous work with ‘Prey’ from 2022.
