Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi portrays Dek, a young predator outcast. Apart from the two, more cast members will likely be announced in the upcoming days.
What story will Predator: Badlands’ plot tell?
The upcoming sci-fi action movie takes place on a remote planet. It follows a young predator outcast who teams up with an artificial human, Thia. They embark on a thrilling journey to find their ultimate adversary.
Why is Predator a hero in Badlands?
In an interview with Empire Magazine, Trachtenberg explained why a predator is a central hero in the upcoming movie. He said, “That feels like a big idea, not just within Predator, but in sci-fi generally. In most sci-fi universes, the ‘creatures’ are either bad guys or sidekicks. In [Badlands] it’s: ‘What if you were with the creature on this crazy mission to prove itself, seeing everything through its eyes?’” Describing Dek’s character, he added, “He’s a thing of few words, pretty blunt. He cuts straight to the point. Literally and figuratively.”
