Predator 6: Badlands – Teaser Trailer (2025) 20th Century Studios

Prey 2 has yet to happen for a reason that makes the next Predator movie very exciting. Writer/director Shane Black felt like the perfect fit to revive the Predator movie franchise - especially having played the hunter's first onscreen victim - but his 2018 sequel The Predator suffered through a messy production and the final film was a letdown. The series then appeared to be on life support, which made the streaming success of Dan Trachtenberg's Prey all the more startling.

This prequel received great reviews from critics and audiences and established Amber Midthunder's Naru as a new fan favorite. Prey 2 feels all but inevitable, but it's unknown when (or if) it will arrive. What is known is that Trachtenberg is returning to the series with the upcoming Predator: Badlands, starring Elle Fanning. A recent report from THR also revealed there is a second, top secret Predator film that Trachtenberg also helmed that will arrive in 2025.
