As Marvel fans get some bad news, Predator fans get some great news. Disney has dated the next installment in the long-running sci-fi franchise.

Per Deadline, the officially titled Predator: Badlands will hit theaters on Nov. 7, 2025, taking the release date of Marvel Studios' Blade reboot, which has been delayed indefinitely. Badlands, which was first announced in February 2024, will be the first Predator movie to receive a theatrical release since 2018's The Predator. The previous entry, 2022's Prey, was released straight to Hulu, much to the chagrin of the Predator franchise. Badlands reunites the creative team of Prey, with Dan Trachtenberg and Patrick Aison back as director and screenwriter, respectively.

While plot details remain under wraps for Badlands, which reportedly began filming in August in New Zealand, the movie is said to be set "sometime in the future," focusing on two sisters who are put to the ultimate test as they pursue divergent paths and missions. No cast members have been officially announced for Badlands, although The Great star Elle Fanning was previously reported to be in negotiations for a lead role back in June.

You take back what you just said about Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theaters right the fuck now! /s

Ha! I was expecting someone to bring up South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut but the ATHF movie was a funnier example.

Neither are part of a franchise, so neeeeyah!

I'll revise and expand, plus reiterate it is skepticism and not immediate dismissal. I'm skeptical about subsequent movies in a franchise with a colon. If the part after the colon is Annihilation or Bloodlines I will dismiss it outright unless someone I trust tells me it isn't terrible.
