"This is a damaged Weyland-Yutani synth, further strengthening the world-building link between the Alien and Predator franchises. (And by damaged, we mean missing her entire lower body.) Both Fanning and Schuster-Koloamatangi actually have dual roles. Fanning also portrays Tessa, another synth who is an antagonist toward our two protagonists. In addition to the outcast runt Predator, Dek, Schuster-Koloamatangi also plays his own father, Njohur-it's not like anyone would recognize him under all those prosthetics."
"Mike Homik rounds out the main cast as Dek's older brother Kwei, who helps prepare him for his first hunt. Predator: Badlands hits theaters on November 7, 2025. There's also a tie-in prequel comic book, set shortly before the events of the film, that will be released on November 12, 2025, by Marvel Comics. While they're waiting, franchise fans can catch Trachtenberg's animated anthology series, Predator: Killer of Killers, on Hulu (it premiered on June 6)."
