'Predator: Badlands' casts deadly monster as the hero
""Every plant, every tree is trying to kill you,""
""To get to play a little evil was very fun, honestly... But Thia, gosh, she's so optimistic and has this like, comedic side to her that I loved and I felt like I could be very playful with her and, so yeah, she's probably my favorite.""
""We have never seen a predator be an underdog, right? Or the vulnerable kind of character. They're always portrayed in all the previous films as the apex,""
""It's a huge crazy swing that is filled with action and suspense, but also a heaping dose of heart as well."
Predator: Badlands follows Dek, an ostracized Predator who seeks to prove himself by hunting an un-killable creature on the universe's most dangerous planet. The planet hosts lethal flora and fauna that threaten every living thing. Elle Fanning portrays two humanoid robots: Thia, an optimistic ally who assists Dek, and Tessa, a far more dangerous, villainous figure. The film reframes the Predator as a vulnerable underdog and protagonist, shifting sympathy toward the creature while delivering action, suspense, and emotional stakes. The film opens in theaters Friday, Nov. 7.
