"According to the plot info, Predator: Badlands follows Thia and Tessa who could be in their mid 20s to mid 40s. The casting call describes the characters as identifying as female or non-binary (The Acolyte also used pronouns). Similar to The Acolyte, it also sounds as if the twin sisters are at odds with one another."
Quote:

[THIA/TESSA] This casting is for a dual character, and describes both characters. Character identifies as female or non-binary, open ethnicity, mid 20s mid 40s. Thia has spent most of her life in a laboratory and is now embarking on her first big adventure in the world. She is incredibly smart, witty, enthusiastic, and unflappable. She has an innate disregard for danger, not because she's fearless, but simply because she's naive. Strong comedy chops required. // The other sister, Tessa, has a militant intensity when it comes to achieving her family's goals and mission objectives. She will not let anything get in her way, not even her twin sister.

I already know the ending

Predator with mask off: "RAWWWWWR"

Thia/Tessa: "What, did you just assume my gender?"

Predator: *dies from self inflicted ray gun blast...purposefully"

ugh.

Why twin women? We just had this in SW and it flopped hard.

Why not twins males?

or a male/female set of twins?

Why not make it to appeal to the largest audience possible?

Were I a fan of the IP, the part I'd be most worried about is the general description of the character's background, and the "strong comedy chops required" language. Humor can work in Predator (e.g., Shane Black in the original), but this reads more like The Odd Couple meets Twins.

You think there's a remote chance they're gonna cast someone who looks like Chris Pratt and identifies as "non-binary"?

So many other directions they could have gone.

  • Samurai backdrop
  • Viking backdrop
  • Medieval/Crusades backdrop

It's the same director as Prey, so hopefully it's decent.

Those are great ideas. Would love to also see a Predator movie where they encounter like a true human monster/psycho, some more lethal version of the character Topher Grace played in Predators, who becomes like the character in the novel version of "I am Legend" for them. A predator goes hunting on Earth and gets gutted, and they keep sending more to figure out what killed him, and eventually send a bunch to try and figure out what the hell is happening.

And how they haven't blended a predator movie with dinosaurs is beyond me.

We already know they are in the same universe, so why can't we have Predator vs. Colonial Marines?

All we wanted was a samurai-era one with Hiroyuki Sanada from Shogun. Was that too much to ask?

Obviously the xenomorph that spawned the AvP everything

Screen Rant says the 2 humans are Bill Paxton and King Willie, but the dino has "four eyes and mandibles" so probably not one of ours
