Dan Trachtenberg finally gets the Comic-Con he dreamt of when he was a young fan. Disney was in full on show, don’t tell mode for Predator: Badlands, unveiling the intense first 15 minutes of the upcoming sci-fi adventure movie for a primed Comic-Con crowd.

We saw the first 15 minutes of the latest 'Predator' film from director Dan Trachtenberg, which stars Elle Fanning and comes out in November.

On July 21, Predator: Badlands, which is the seventh film in the main franchise, released its official trailer that shows the two characters battling Predators while also forming a friendship. Here's everything to know about Predator: Badlands.

New footage from Predator: Badlands just debuted at San Diego Comic-Con, features a very cool Alien connection, and draws a clear line between the horror franchise and Star Wars.

Director Dan Trachtenberg brought new footage to the convention alongside stars Elle Fanning and Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi to talk up the movie.

The Predator: Badlands panel was one of the main events at this year's Marvel-less San Diego Comic-Con 2025, and director Dan Trachtenberg and his cast did not disappoint as they brought 15 minutes of exclusive (and unfinished) footage from the film to the Con.

Star Wars, however, wasn’t the only inspiration. In prior interviews Trachtenberg has mentioned masterpiece Shadow of the Colossus as inspiring Predator: Badlands, but it turns out there are many other games that factored into the film’s companion mechanic, including Half-Life 2, Uncharted, and God of War.
