Predator: Badlands received a strong Rotten Tomatoes score, proving its director may be the new king of the franchise. Predator began as an action sci-fi spectacle in which humans fought back against a lethal alien killer. It started in the jungles in 1987 with Arnold Schwarzenegger , but eventually moved to urban environments and culminated in a clash with Alien 's Xenomorphs .

In recent years, the franchise has had many failed reboot attempts, such as 2010's Predators and 2018's The Predator. However, it wasn't until 2022's Prey that the series started to regain some traction. Directed by Dan Trachtenberg, Prey surprised Predator fans and captivated newcomers with a small-scale story that went back to the universe's roots.
