Friday at San Diego Comic-Con offered fans a rare opportunity to hear from two of the people primarily responsible for major franchises, in the same place, on the same day. And that’s exactly what happened in both the Alien: Earth and Predator: Badlands panels, which both took place in Hall H.

At San Diego Comic-Con on Friday, Predator franchise filmmaker Dan Trachtenberg said that a new cut of the animated Hulu movie Predator: Killer of Killers is debuting tonight, and it has an epilogue scene showing the characters of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Dutch from the original 1987 movie and Danny Glover’s from Predator 2.

Predator: Badlands centers on Dek (Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi), a young-and-hungry Yautja warrior who is the runt of the litter in his clan and has a whole lot to prove. He teams up with an unlikely ally: Thia ( Elle Fanning ), a synthetic made by the Weyland-Yutani company (from the Alien franchise).

The latest movie in the "Predator" series flips the script to focus on the bad guys who always lose to the humans in the end, director Dan Trachtenberg said on Friday.

Director Dan Trachtenberg brought new footage to the convention alongside stars Elle Fanning and Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi to talk up the movie.

If you feel like rewatching Dan Trachtenberg’s terrific Predator: Killer of Killers sometime soon, then you’ll be treated to a brand new cut of the film which includes the return of some franchise favourites in the movie’s final moments.

Badlands has raised immense anticipation and curiosity among the audience about whether, in this film, the worlds of the alien and the predators will collide
