Elle Fanning Hunts in Predator: Badlands
Elle Fanning carries the film. She’s alone for most of it. Her performance is intense.

Elle Fanning stars in a new action-packed thriller. The film is called Predator: Badlands. It’s part of the Predator franchise. But this one has a twist.
Fanning plays a lone survivor. She’s tough, smart, and on the run. The setting is a harsh desert. It’s dry, empty, and dangerous. But there’s something worse. Monsters.
The trailer dropped this week. It shows Fanning hiding, fighting, and hunting. She’s not afraid. Or at least, she doesn’t show it. Her character is a fighter. A survivor.
The monsters are familiar. Fans will recognize the Predator. It’s back and deadlier than ever. With new weapons. New tactics. And the same hunger for the hunt.
The film mixes action and horror. There are tense moments. Explosions. Chase scenes. Blood. But there’s also silence. Long, scary silences.
Elle Fanning carries the film. She’s alone for most of it. Her performance is intense. Raw. Gritty. Fans of The Revenant or Mad Max may see some similarities.
Predator: Badlands is directed by Dan Trachtenberg. He’s known for 10 Cloverfield Lane. That film also had tight suspense and strong female leads. This one looks just as thrilling.
The desert setting gives it a fresh feel. It’s not the jungle. Not the city. It’s something new. And it looks stunning on screen.
The movie hits theaters this summer. No exact date yet. But fans are excited. The trailer has millions of views already.
Fanning isn’t just the final girl. She’s the main threat. The hunted becomes the hunter. That’s the tagline.
One thing’s for sure—this Predator picked the wrong person to chase.
