That's funny, cause "future" could go in a
lot of different ways. Will
Badlands be set in a future that is compatible with the future of the Alien films?
And regarding the future setting, I wonder if it'll even be set on Earth, cause that seems like something that's also totally up in the air right now and could go in either direction.
Blade Runner-esque future city? A
Mad Max style wasteland? An
Aliens-esque colony world (maybe complete with Colonial Marines, if they really want to start dipping their toes back into a shared universe)? Seems like a million and a half different conclusions you can arrive at when you think about what a future setting for this would be.
I do think that, eventually, at some point, Disney/20th Century Studios is going to want to swing around and take a new stab at AVP. But I don't think that the Alien and Predator franchises have to literally cross over in order for that to happen; it can just be a standalone thing that doesn't infringe on the continuities of either. Seeing what
Badlands' outlook of the future is, and how compatible it is with what we know form the Alien films, will probably be our first real taste of the potential of what direction that sort of thing could go in, though.
