Predator: Badlands’ new trailer has given fans a further glimpse of the new movie starring Elle Fanning and Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi, with connections to the Alien franchise.

The upcoming film follows a young outcast Predator (Schuster-Koloamatangi) who finds an ally in Thia (Fanning). The pair embark on a "treacherous journey in search of the ultimate adversary."
