One of cinema’s most terrifying space monsters might want to start planning for their next human enemy. Deadline reports Elle Fanning is currently in negotiations to star in Prey director Dan Trachtenberg’s next Predator film, Badlands.
Fanning, best known for her roles in Super 8, Maleficent, and The Great, is reportedly close to signing on to star in Trachtenberg’s next standalone Predator movie. Deadline says the casting process began when 20th Century Studio executives learned she’s a big fan of the franchise. If she does come to an agreement we might not have to wait long to see her fight the Predator. The new Predator movie Badlands is expected to start shooting later this year.
