Predator: Badlands 2025

Predator: Badlands, released in November 2025, marks a bold shift for the franchise by featuring a Yautja (Predator) as the central protagonist. Directed by Dan Trachtenberg (Prey), the film is set in the future on the "Death Planet" Genna. The story follows Dek (Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi), a "runt" Predator who is cast out by his own father, Njohrr (Reuben de Jong), the leader of their clan. To prove his worth, Dek is sent on a treacherous mission to hunt the Kalisk, a legendary and supposedly unkillable monster. Along the way, he forms an unlikely alliance with Thia (Elle Fanning), a witty and damaged Weyland-Yutani android who has been separated from her team. As they navigate the planet’s lethal flora and fauna, the film subverts expectations: Dek discovers that the Kalisk is not a mindless monster but a protective parent, leading him to reject his society’s ritualistic violence. The film concludes with Dek and Thia returning to the Predator homeworld, Yautja Prime, to challenge Dek's father. Predator: Badlands was a commercial success, becoming the highest-grossing film in the franchise (unadjusted for inflation). Against a production budget of approximately $105 million, the film grossed $184.4 million worldwide. This total includes a strong domestic opening of $40 million, eventually reaching $91 million in North America and $93.4 million in international territories. Critics praised its "buddy movie" energy and the chemistry between Fanning and Schuster-Koloamatangi, which helped sustain its theatrical run through the holiday season.As of January 6, 2026, Predator: Badlands is available worldwide on Digital/Premium Video on Demand (PVOD) platforms such as Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home for purchase ($29.99) or rental ($24.99). Physical media fans can expect the 4K Ultra HD SteelBook, Blu-ray, and DVD release on February 17, 2026. While a specific date for subscription streaming has not been confirmed, it is expected to join the rest of the franchise on Hulu and Disney+ shortly after the physical release in late February 2026.
