Elle Fanning ("Maleficent", "The Great") is in talks to star in the upcoming new "Predator" movie that will be directed by Dan Trachtenberg ("Prey") from a script he co-wrote with Patrick Aison.
The 20th Century Studios project is titled "Badlands" and is intended to expand the franchise's universe, after 2022's "Prey" was a critical and streaming hit. "Prey 2" is currently in early development with Amber Midthunder set to reprise her role.
"Badlands" was announced in February and production is expected to begin later this year. Plot details are unavailable at this point. Insiders close to the project say Fanning is a fan of the franchise and once executives got wind of her interest, they moved to secure her a meeting with Trachtenberg. Following that meeting, Fanning was on board and a deal is currently in the works.
Fanning can next be seen in James Mangold's "A Complete Unknown" where she plays Sylvie Russo opposite Timothee Chalamet's Bob Dylan.
