Friday at San Diego Comic-Con offered fans a rare opportunity to hear from two of the people primarily responsible for major franchises, in the same place, on the same day. And that’s exactly what happened in both the Alien: Earth and Predator: Badlands panels, which both took place in Hall H.

If you feel like rewatching Dan Trachtenberg’s terrific Predator: Killer of Killers sometime soon, then you’ll be treated to a brand new cut of the film which includes the return of some franchise favourites in the movie’s final moments.

Predator: Badlands centers on Dek (Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi), a young-and-hungry Yautja warrior who is the runt of the litter in his clan and has a whole lot to prove. He teams up with an unlikely ally: Thia ( Elle Fanning ), a synthetic made by the Weyland-Yutani company (from the Alien franchise).

Badlands has raised immense anticipation and curiosity among the audience about whether, in this film, the worlds of the alien and the predators will collide

"Predator: Badlands" arrived at Hall H on Thursday to preview footage from the upcoming sci-fi film from "Prey" director Dan Trachtenberg.
