“After Prey grew to become a hit, Dan [Trachtenberg] got here again and mentioned he didn’t need to do Prey 2. And we’re like, ‘What do you need to do?’ And he rattled off a bunch of concepts that had been actually loopy however actually cool,” Asbell mentioned. “We’ve truly performed two of them. Two are popping out subsequent yr. One I can’t discuss but, however the different one is the live-action Predator movie with Elle Fanning that simply wrapped in New Zealand. That’ll be out theatrically someday subsequent yr.”
Asbell clarified that the opposite venture he “can’t say something about but” can be a Predator film directed by Trachtenberg. It can come out earlier than Predator: Badlands, although it’s unclear whether or not or not it will likely be launched theatrically.
The key venture seemingly received’t be an Alien vs. Predator movie, as Asbell was requested concerning the matter later within the interview. Whereas he mentioned followers would “in all probability” get to see one other crossover between the 2 franchises sooner or later, he famous that they “haven’t gotten to that time” but, and {that a} venture like that received’t be one thing that’s rushed.
Additional plot particulars stay beneath wraps presently.
Predator: Badlands, in the meantime, will star Elle Fanning. Asbell mentioned the film stems from an “completely bonkers thought.” He added, “It’s a sci-fi factor, however it’s not what all people thinks it’s. And I imply, it’s superior. It’s so nuts. However in Dan, we belief.”
