Taking to X, Dhanush shared his thoughts on the movie.

Badlands is the ninth instalment in the long-running franchise, which ignited with 1987's Predator, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as the mercenary known as Dutch.

Several sequels, reboots and crossover films include 1990's Predator 2, 2004's Alien vs. Predator, 2007's Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem, 2010's Predator with Adrian Brody and 2018's The Predator, led by Boyd Holbrook; they have had varying degrees of box office success.

The two prior instalments, 2022's Prey and this June's animated Predator: Killer of Killers, didn't play in theatres and landed on streaming platforms.

Predator: Badlands is based on a young Predator from an exiled clan which crash-lands on the hostile planet Genna and must prove himself worthy of the hunt.
