"Badlands" is the ninth instalment in the long-running franchise, which ignited with 1987's "Predator," starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as the mercenary known as Dutch.

Several sequels, reboots and crossover films include 1990's 'Predator 2,' 2004's 'Alien vs. Predator,' 2007's 'Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem,' 2010's 'Predator' with Adrian Brody and 2018's 'The Predator,' led by Boyd Holbrook; they have had varying degrees of box office success.

The two prior instalments, 2022's "Prey" and this June's animated "Predator: Killer of Killers," didn't play in theatres and landed on Hulu in the US and on Disney+ in the rest of the world.

'Predator: Badlands' is based on a young Predator from an exiled clan which crash-lands on the hostile planet Genna and must prove himself worthy of the hunt.

Struggling to survive, he forms an unlikely alliance with Thia, a damaged Weyland-Yutani synthetic, as they face off against a terrifying apex creature that challenges both human and Predator instincts for survival.

The movie is currently running in theatres.

As someone who grew up watching the original Predator movies, this is exciting news! The franchise needed a proper tribute after some disappointing sequels. Can't wait to watch!

Respectfully, I wish Indian actors would promote our own films with this much enthusiasm. Hollywood already gets enough attention. Just my two cents 🤷‍♂️

The premise sounds interesting - a young Predator proving himself on a hostile planet. Reminds me of coming-of-age stories but with aliens! Definitely checking this out.
