20th Century Studios has shared the first trailer and poster (via SFFGazette.com) for Predator: Badlands, the newest entry in the Predator franchise, directed by Dan Trachtenberg (Prey).

The trailer sets the tone for a movie that looks vastly different to Prey. This Yautja appears to be quite a bit smaller than what we're used to seeing on screen, and is shown doing battle with much larger hunters.

However, his smaller stature makes him a different kind of beast, something that's evident here as he runs nimbly through the battlefield. It's also refreshing not to see a Predator hunting humans on Earth.

In fact, it seems we're going to further explore the culture and dynamic of these formidable aliens, which feels like it could lead perfectly into a new space-set Alien vs. Predator movie down the line.

In fact, that's confirmed with the revelation that Thia is a Weyland-Yutani android.
