"Predator: Badlands" director Dan Trachtenberg debuted 15 minutes of footage at Comic-Con, plus hinted at a possible Arnold Schwarzenegger return.

Badlands director Dan Trachtenberg showed off the first 15 minutes of his movie and made surprising connections to the Alien franchise and Arnold Schwarzenegger's Dutch.

Badlands," Dan Trachtenberg, said audiences will emotionally "connect" with the iconic hunter in the show out this fall.

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

Friday at San Diego Comic-Con offered fans a rare opportunity to hear from two of the people primarily responsible for major franchises, in the same place, on the same day. And that’s exactly what happened in both the Alien: Earth and Predator: Badlands panels, which both took place in Hall H.

In Predator: Badlands, Elle Fanning’s Thia strikes up an alliance with Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi’s young Predator, Dek. We see Thia rebooted after what looks like a fight with some sort of monster. Thia is a Weyland-Yutani synth from the nefarious megacorp from the Alien franchise.
