Predator: Badlands is not a secret Alien vs. Director Dan Trachtenberg told Empire outright that fans shouldn’t expect to see a Xenomorph from the Alien franchise in Predator: Badlands, despite evil megacorp Weyland-Yutani featuring prominently in the movie’s trailers. Alas, this all appears to be a mere sprinkling of Alien in Predator, as opposed to the Alien versus Predator rematch some fans had hoped for. Predator movies typically feature Yautja (the name given to the race of alien hunters) in antagonist roles. While Predator: Badlands does not feature a Xenomorph, Alien is as big as it’s been in years, with the hotly anticipated Alien: Earth finale almost upon us.
