Almost two whole decades have passed since the Predator franchise was forever transformed by a surprising development.

There is a long and not particularly honorable tradition of making a movie by combining the monsters who appeared in two previous unrelated monster movies.

Alien: Earth creator Noah Hawley has publicly stated that the TV spinoff series will not feature a crossover with Predator, ruling out an appearance from the Yautja in Season 2 and beyond.

Predator: Badlands is the highest-grossing Predator film at the box office, but another entry in the sci-fi franchise was a much bigger hit for Fox overall.
