Predator: Badlands – The Hunt Begins

In the vast, barren wilderness, the silence is broken only by the sound of the hunt. Predator: Badlands arrives in South African cinemas on 7 November 2025, unleashing a fierce new battle for survival where soldiers, mercenaries, and something far deadlier collide. Raw, relentless, and cinematic to its core, this is Predator reimagined for a new generation.

Story Overview

Set in the future on a remote world, the film follows a young member of the Yautja (Predator) species named Dek, who has been exiled from his clan. He finds an unlikely ally in Thia (a damaged synthetic created by the Weyland-Yutani corporation) and together they embark on a treacherous journey in search of the “ultimate adversary.”

The story represents a shift in the traditional Predator narrative: the Predator is no longer merely the hunter of humans, but is himself vulnerable and part of a larger struggle.

Cast

Here are the confirmed lead cast members and their roles:

  • Elle Fanning as Thia, a damaged Weyland-Yutani synth who forms a bond with Dek.
  • Dimitrius Schuster‑Koloamatangi as Dek, a young Yautja/Predator outcast for being a “runt”.
