When we heard that "Predator: Badlands" was making a big change for the franchise with its protagonist being a Predator, we were thrilled. But, when we heard that Dan Trachtenberg was returning to direct, we were over the moon!
Any Predator fan will tell you: 2022’s "Prey" (which we gave a glowing review) was phenomenal, and Trachtenberg directed it (In fact, he also directed the upcoming animated film, "Predator: Killer of Killers," mostly in secret, so there’s that, too).
