The hunt has evolved. The newly released official trailer for Predator: Badlands offers Kiwi sci-fi fans a thrilling preview of what may be the franchise’s boldest entry yet. Set on the Predator’s homeworld, the film marks a major departure from the classic human-vs-hunter formula.

Directed by Dan Trachtenberg (Prey), the film follows Dek, a young outcast Predator, and Thia, a humanlike Weyland-Yutani android portrayed by Elle Fanning. Together, they must navigate an unforgiving alien wilderness and face off against otherworldly dangers — and each other’s secrets.

Coming to New Zealand cinemas on November 7, 2025, this film promises high-stakes survival, brutal action, and a deeper look into Predator culture — something never fully explored in previous films.

Why It Matters for NZ Audiences:
Visual Effects Ties to Aotearoa: Wētā Workshop’s influence is already being speculated in the creature designs, offering a subtle nod to New Zealand’s role in global cinema.

Pasifika Representation: Kiwi viewers may recognize actor Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi (Shortland Street, The Panthers), adding a local connection to this global franchise.

Cross-Franchise Worldbuilding: With clear ties to the Alien universe — including references to Weyland-Yutani — Predator: Badlands may lay the groundwork for a new shared sci-fi mythology.

Whether you're in Auckland, Wellington, or Invercargill, this is one film worth seeing on the big screen.

Release Date:
🗓 November 7, 2025
📍 Nationwide NZ cinemas
