- 20th Century Studios has launched the first trailer to Predator: Badlands
- The next film of the science fiction action franchise is to hide some great secrets in view
- Your teaser contains a Independence Day Easter egg and strong ties with the Foreign franchise
Almost 20 years have passed since the last Alien vs Predator (AVP) The film landed in theaters.
But, based on the first predator trailer: Badlands, another installment in the very defamated crossover film franchise, and an entry that could exchange that series of films in the eyes of many people, could be here before what nobody expected.
That is because MoorsOne of the new films of this year that will arrive on November 7, drops some not so subtle suggestions that it is a AVP Movie in anything but name. Ah, and there is also an unexpected reference to another film fiction cinematographic franchise that indicates that it can exist in the same universe as the Foreign and Predator Film series.
But enough waffling! Look Moors‘First teaser below and see if you can detect the aforementioned clues before explaining everything.

Attend
As noted, there is a very clear reference to Foreign movies in Moors‘First sight footage through the character of Elle Fanning, which is called Thia.
However, for those who could have lost it: in the 0:25 brand, Thia’s eyes come back to their head to reveal a revealing sign that is not really human, but an Android.
Thia is not an ordinary robotic humanoid, since Eagle’s eyes viewers * example * noticed a logo printed on the back of their eyes, which indicates that it was created by the Weylan-Yutani corporation. That is the sinister fictitious megacorporation that exists in the Foreign Franchise, which prioritizes profits and experimentation in dangerous extraterrestrial life forms about the lives of their employees.
That is not the only reference to Weyland-Yutani in Moors‘Teaser. It is difficult to distinguish, but, in the mark of 0:50, you can see an orange-colored truck on the right side of the screen, and is also adorned with the Weyland-Yutani logo.
Ah, and before forgetting: move back to the beginning of the teaser and, in the middle of the other skulls that hang on the wall of what is probably the predator’s house, look closely at the skull sitting in the center of the collection. Does it seem familiar? That is because it is the skull of one of the aliens in the Independence Day Cinematographic franchise.
Ordered, huh? Although, that now raises the question of whether these films also exist in the same universe and the Foreign and Predator Movies …
Why Predator: Badlands could be secret the third entry of the Alien vs Predator Movie series
Of course, those Weyland-Yutani Easter eggs could not be more than simple reminders that xenomorphs (aliens in Alien) and the yautja (the real name of the predatory species) exist in the same universe. However, it wouldn’t be more great if, at any time, Moors Make a narrative bait and change and become a AVP movie?
Horrible although the previous two AVP The films are, certainly I hope, and that is due to the people who have revived the Foreign and Predator Series, two unconditional cinema franchises of the 80s and 90s.
Dan Trachtenburg, who directs MoorsHe is also the filmmaker behind 2022 Predator prequel movie Prey. That film, which is available in Hulu (USA) and Disney+ (internationally), is a film that I tagged as “the best Predator film from the original 1987 “in me Prey review.
With trachtenburg also to direct the tasks of MoorsI am sure that he will deliver consecutive bright entries as part of his broadest Predator Restart the franchise. Indeed, Prey and Moors However, another Predator Movie: An animated anthology film called Predator: murderer of murderers – You will also make your debut this year. It will be available to transmit at home from June 6.
As for the Foreign Movies, the filmmaker Fede Álvarez gave us the best delivery of that franchise since 1986 Extraterrestrials last year Alien: Romulus. With a sequel to that large screen offer currently under development, the future looks equally brilliant for the science fiction horror films of Xenomorph and Facehugger.
Well, but what does all this have to do with the possibility that Moors It is actually a AVP movie? The advance of Weyland-Yutani, aside, Álvarez has previously outlined what he would like to see of a new AVP movie.
Speaking with Collider in February, the Argentine said: “The way he would do so [a new AvP film]most likely, if you could do this way … it is more difficult to keep the secrets online … AVP will be the one you don’t know is AVP Until the other boy appears.
“You think you’re seeing a Predator Movie, and then land somewhere and there are creatures, and fuck hell, it is a xenomorph. That would catch me. ‘F ** k yes!’ You would go crazy.

“Or, vice versa,” Álvarez continued. “You are in a Foreign Movie, and then, suddenly, a mysterious creature is there, and you can listen to that sound, and see the cape, and you say: ‘Is that an affirmative predator?’ And then it turns out that it is. That would be the way to do it, don’t you think? Once you put it in the title, it is like ‘Spoiler alert’ “.
When the colider pressed it on whether it would ever be associated with Trachtenburg to make such a movie, Álvarez added: “I can’t speak for Dan. At some point, once there is another ForeignAnd I know he is working on a sequel to PreyOne day if we feel: ‘Yes, that’s what we can’t expect to see, I think it’s a movie we could do. “
Is the entire coded form of Álvarez to suggest Moors It could be another AVP movie? Not probably, but I live with the hope of being wrong!
