First Look at the ‘Predator: Badlands’ Popcorn Bucket Revealed

by

Regal Cinemas is offering a special popcorn bucket shaped like a spaceship from the new movie, *Predator: Badlands*. It even includes a small collectible figure of the character Dek to watch over your popcorn! These are available at some Regal theaters for a limited time, so get yours while they last.

This movie stands out in the Predator series because it flips the script – instead of being a scary villain, the Predator is actually the hero. And surprisingly, a popcorn bucket accessory makes the young Predator warrior look endearing, making viewers want to cheer him on.

Directed by Dan Trachtenberg and written by Patrick Aison and Brian Duffield, *Predator: Badlands* stars Elle Fanning and Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi. Set on a faraway planet in the future, the film follows a young Predator who has been exiled from his group. He joins forces with a woman named Thia on a risky journey to track down a powerful foe.

Check out the trailer for the new Predator movie, Badlands! It’s coming to theaters and IMAX on November 7th.

Elle Fanning stars as two characters: Thia, a synthetic human without legs who teams up with Dek, and Tessa, another synthetic who works against them. Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi plays Dek, a young Predator who has been exiled from his people.

The movie will be released in U.S. theaters on November 7th, and will be shown in RealD 3D and IMAX formats. To build excitement, a comic book prequel, written by Ethan Sacks with artwork by Elvin Ching and a cover by Juan Ferreyra, will be published by Marvel Comics on November 12th. The comic takes place just before the events of the film.

After the positive reception of *Prey*, Trachtenberg initially envisioned a trilogy of new *Predator* movies. Whether he proceeds with the third film will depend on how well *Predator: Badlands* performs.
