Predator Badlands to hit theaters and IMAX on Nov 7 with PG-13

Dan Trachtenberg’s new entry in the Predator franchise, Predator Badlands, will arrive in theaters and IMAX on November 7, 2025, after receiving a PG-13 rating for sequences of strong science-fiction violence. The film, which stars Elle Fanning and Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi, opens after an advance IMAX screening in Los Angeles on November 4 that will be followed by a question-and-answer session with Trachtenberg.

Set in the future on a remote planet, Predator Badlands follows Dek, a young Predator outcast played by Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi, who forms an unlikely alliance with Thia, a synthetic humanoid portrayed by Elle Fanning, as they embark on a perilous journey in search of the species’ ultimate adversary. Casting materials describe a dual role for Fanning as twin sisters Thia and Tessa, with Thia depicted as a laboratory-bred, curious and unflappable character and Tessa presented as driven and militant. The screenplay was written by Patrick Aison and Trachtenberg, based on a story by Trachtenberg, and the film is produced by John Davis, Dan Trachtenberg, Marc Toberoff, Ben Rosenblatt and Brent OConnor.
