The first teaser trailer for the upcoming Predator: Badlands film has been released! The teaser lasts for 1 minute, 10 seconds and begins with Elle Fanning’s character saying “I didn’t think you survived.” It shows a Predator picking up his helmet before a ship flies over an alien planet.
There are shots of a Predator laying down his weapons and equipment before Elle Fanning’s character is wrapped in vines. There are various shots of a Predator fighting another Predator and another fighting a man.
Elle Fanning’s character says to somebody “You’re hunting somebody that can’t be killed” before a huge beast appears that a Predator is about to fight. After the title Predator: Badlands appears, the Predator is seen in a jungle and is fighting something with tendrils.
Also notice that there is a Weyland-Yutani logo on one of the damaged vehicles as well as in Elle Fanning’s eyes when she’s in the vines.
We have also have our first Predator: Badlands poster. It has the tagline, First Hunt. Last Chance.

I wonder if the metal balls are the same as the net ball from Prey.
Also, I hope that it's a bow next to combistick.

The necklace under the primate looks like it as a megalodon tooth attached to it.

At its best points, The Mandalorian was leaning hard into serialized pulp adventure iconography, so there's definitely an overlap in influence there.
I don't really see any direct similarity beyond that surface level influence, though. I'd compare this more to The Chronicles of Riddick than I would anything Star Wars.
Respect your opinion, and politely disagree.
I just adore this shot. The sense of scale, the atmosphere/mood that radiates from the background... it's divine.
Ahh then that makes sense.
Well the 28th came and went..
It's odd, it's titled trailer#1 while the teaser we got is titled trailer#2.

Same I miss the plasmacaster.
Also I hope that's the case, the more the merrier when it comes to content.

I do hope at some point in the film he does acquire and use a Plasmacaster.
Maybe an extended trailer is attached with Thunderbolts* this weekend.
Oo interesting indeed.

Yes it's def very DH and that's how I'm willing to accept it and hopefully enjoy it once it's released. The original film is something very different from that and that's ok.
He could also stay fairly "small" because he's a runt, maybe even into adulthood. He could have potentially already reached his full height or close to it!
I'd be for that.
I hope he makes it. Would be cool to see an older Dek become a clan leader in a future movie/comic.
Good luck to Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi, 24, who'll have to grow at least 30cm for the role.
Who knows, maybe come the inevitable AVP film we'll see an older, more physically matured Dek.

Increase the forehead, maybe some dreads on the side - easy enough fix.
Keep it far, far away from movies, though.
(Easter Eggs on trophy walls are fine)
Regarding Apes and crossovers, I'm still shocked that Marvel hasn't done an Apes crossover with Captain America being thawed out far, far in the future in the Apes universe/setting, since they're already going so full force with the Alien and Predator Marvel crossovers and they're also putting PotA comics out under the 20th Century Studios label.
Yeah I wouldn't put anything past Disney and I truly hope that's not the case.
Bland sci-fi adventure stories? I think your real fear is that it will become like the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Where you have to almost watch all the movies (even those you weren't interested in), to catch the entire plot and hints and characters of another movie? That's a nuisance I agree. The MCU became too bloated and over-expanded themselves with too many movies and TV series, especially after Avengers, the MCU lost that drive to reach some ultimate storyline and it just became a little disorganized and directionless. Same goes for Star Wars. And yes both are under Disney control, as is Aliens and Predator. So I understand your fear and its a legitimate concern.
That being said, Fox has been careful thus far to take both the Alien and Predator franchise one step at a time and not simply let the franchise inflate itself beyond control. Fox president Steve Asbell seems to be aware of what happened to the MCU and is ensuring care and attention is placed on each Alien and Predator film rather than worry about creating some massive over-arching universe. If there are linkages and a slowly expanding AVP universe, its done with care and grown more organically instead of the MCU.
Suddenly we'll have predator in the Avatar universe or Planet of the Apes or something, and I know the seeming independence day reference in Badlands is likely just an easter egg and not indicating a crossover but would anyone put it past the suits at Disney to pull something like that?
Like I said, I doubt there will be a fan split. As for a PCU...there is nothing inherently wrong with that...if they explore the right stories. The biggest fear is to ensure the predator isn't a superhero right? Well so long as they stick to the fact the predator is not a superhero who goes around rescuing innocent victims from some evil villains. Thats a good start. At best, it will spare those deemed not worthy prey. At times it might even form temporary alliances or partner with certain humans due to circumstances, but in those cases, the predator isn't really a true "hero".
I do wonder if Dek is a member of Feral's tribe or somehow is connected to the Lost Tribe. Each film had a very unique Predator armor set that gives them such an individual silhouette that we can tell greatly that they are from a different clan. His armor has the same style like Feral's, even down to the medicomp kit, so I wonder if there is any connection there?
Also thinking about it more, I hope we can have vocal mimicry back, been a while since we heard it.

Seriously?
Insulting a user for a fairly innocuous comment is one thing, but to then edit the post and arguably make it worse is very impressive. That's completely unnecessary.
Agreed same here. I am excited to see a full length trailer to get a better perspective as to what sort of tone we can expect.
Elle Fanning's character I think will be more of an observer, and sort of a narrator, which I think is a smart way to do a film where the Predator is the main character.
watching it on something larger than a phone also helps in a big way.
to that I will add that I just watched that teaser again in a 4k version. I don't know if it's real 4k or merely upscaled but in any case this was not on the youtube platform. I could see more details in this video than on YT. The YT one basically blurs the image. So when I complained about Dek's face looking too clean like having lack of details that was because of youtube.
Even his hands look like sausages. This is not a predator movie.
The internet backlash is quite strong, so we'll see if it flops.
Demand better predators mates.
Yeah I'd imagine that is a possibility as well.
Sure, but he might not wear his mask for a lot of the movie, so they probably felt like it wasn't worth it to not show his face.
Right but what I'm saying is there was in just a 1:12 trailer clearly a heavy emphasis on his face and that from my recollection has never been done prior in marketing or trailers pre-release.
The face reveal is usually explicitly a staple in the franchise exclusively reserved for the actual film. Point being I wouldn't be surprised if that was by design. That's all I'm saying.
It could also be to show that Dek is the main character in the movie.
Maybe the teaser showing Deks face so clearly could have been a choice way to measure reception and consider potential criticisms all while giving Dan and co. time to tweak things if he so chooses. Maybe not but it does give him the availability of time to consider.
This is exactly how I feel. I love the look/design, but couldn't help but notice the CGI enhancements on top of the practical. But like you said, the movie is 7 months away.
