She’s even connected to theAlienfranchise.
This happens as she’s tied up in some sort of trap.
Androids have been part of theAlienfranchise since Ridley Scott started it over 45 years ago.
What’s unclear about Elle Fanning’s android character inPredator: Badlandsis how her model connects to the others.
While they each existed on their own for decades, the studio brought them together in 2004 withAlien vs. One crossover wasn’t enough, either, leading toAliens vs.
Predator: Requiemin 2007.
Those films primarily focused on the Yautja and Xenomorphs interacting rather than including the androids that Weyland-Yutani pioneered.
The 53 second mark of the trailer shows a smashed truck with the Weyland-Yutani logo also on it.
This suggests that the connections between the two franchises inPredator: Badlandsgo beyond Fanning’s android character.
That only brought more questions about when they’d crossover again.
Predator: Badlandsbridging the franchises in this way is a smart way to lay the groundwork for this possibility.
Instead,Predator: Badlandscan bring the two worlds together in a fresh way.
The film is seemingly an android and Yautja team-up story.
That’s a fresh idea for these IPs.
And if everything goes well withPredator: Badlands, more crossovers can happen.
