As the surprising ending of Predator: Badlands suggests, fans might be reuniting with Dek, Thia and Bud at some point in the future, and director Dan Trachtenberg recently teased that it would be "a whole lot of fun". If you still haven't seen the film, you should stop reading right now because we're going to discuss some spoilers.
The latest Predator installment follows a young Yautja named Dek (played by Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi) going on his first hunt. Considered the clan's weakest link, he needs to prove himself, so he decides to travel to a remote and hostile planet to hunt an "unkillable" creature known as the Kalisk. On his journey, he finds two unlikely allies in a Weyland-Yutani synthetic android, Thia (played by Elle Fanning), and an adorable creature (later revealed as a baby Kalisk) known as Bud.
