After years of teasing another round of Alien vs. Predator movies, the first new crossover since 2007 is suddenly coming much sooner than anyone thought. The upcoming Predator: Badlands’ main character, Thia (Elle Fanning), isn’t human, but a “Weyland-Yutani android.” This detail was seemingly confirmed when the first trailer for Predator: Badlands dropped, as a logo for Alien’s villainous Weyland-Yutani corporation is briefly visible in Thia’s eyes.
Fanning is reportedly playing two characters, and if one of them is indeed an android from the Alien canon, then the new Predator movies will officially share their continuity. But does this make the Alien versus Predator movies of the early aughts canonical? Not so fast.
