Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, "Badlands" director Dan Trachtenberg confirms Fanning's character Thia is a Weyland-Yutani synthetic, and he also explains why he chose that over casting the actress as a human.

Badlands has raised immense anticipation and curiosity among the audience about whether, in this film, the worlds of the alien and the predators will collide

Comic-Con 2025 is about to reenter the Grid. Disney will unveil details about “Tron: Ares,” which stars Jared Leto, Jeff Bridges and Greta Lee at an evening presentation in Comic-Con’s famed Hall H.

Dan Trachtenberg finally gets the Comic-Con he dreamt of when he was a young fan. Disney was in full on show, don’t tell mode for Predator: Badlands, unveiling the intense first 15 minutes of the upcoming sci-fi adventure movie for a primed Comic-Con crowd.

Badlands trailer is full of alien beasts, gorgeous sci-fi vistas, and a Yautja hero who finds an unlikely ally in a synthetic.

Badlands, the creature is one of the good guys now. In short: We're rooting for the Predator this time. Taking a page out of the Terminator 2: Judgment Day playbook, Predator: Badlands flips the script on the series formula when a new Predator named Dek (Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi) teams up with an android (played by Elle Fanning) to hunt down something massive.

Predator: Badlands director Dan Trachtenberg sheds light on the film's Alien crossover and his shared universe plans.

Timeline-wise, it jumps way back. Each story sits in its historical pocket, way before almost all the other Predator or Alien movies. These are the oldest Predator hunts we’ve seen—unless you count Prey from 1719, which barely squeaks in earlier.
