20th Century Studios President Steve Asbell dropped the news during an interview withThe Hollywood Reporter.
He also confirmed that Prey director Dan Trachenberg is directing both of the upcoming Predator films.
“And we’re like, ‘What do you want to do?’
And he rattled off a bunch of ideas that were really crazy, but really cool.
We’ve actually done two of them.
Two are coming out next year.
That’ll be out theatrically sometime next year…
It’s titled Badlands and it is an absolutely bonkers idea.
It is a sci-fi thing, but it’s not what everybody thinks it is.
And I mean, it’s awesome.
It is so nuts.
But in Dan, we trust.”
That may mean that the second film is animated.
It’s also possible that the second Predator movie could be another Hulu exclusive, like Prey was.
But for now, we can only speculate.
As for the future of the franchise, Asbell hinted that another Alien vs.
Predator crossover could happen.
“It wouldn’t be in the way you think,” explained Asbell.
“That’s the thing.
Not in the way that it will just be called Alien vs.
Predator or anything like the original movies.
But we haven’t gotten to that point.
And we’re not just going to bang it out.”
