The Alien and Predator franchises are thriving below Disney, and with the current renewal of Alien: Earth, audiences have been questioning if there might be a possible crossover within the upcoming season.
Alien: Earth season 2 continues to be shrouded in thriller, because the collection was solely renewed just below a month in the past. So, when creator Noah Hawley appeared on the SmartLess podcast, the hosts couldn’t resist asking whether or not a Predator crossover is perhaps within the present’s future. And, his response wasn’t a really encouraging one.
Hawley revealed that whereas he liked Prey and Predator: Badlands, he had no plans to mix the 2 main franchises. At this time limit, the one predators that might be featured in Alien: Earth are the enduring Xenomorphs.
No, not onto the present, I do not suppose. I believe Dan Trachtenberg, who made ‘Prey’ and has made the ‘Badlands’ film — you already know, I liked ‘Prey.’ I believe he is doing a fantastic job with that franchise. He clearly has a plan there. I’ve met Dan as soon as, we’re not form of coordinating any of that stuff. So, it is probably not my plan to do it.
Hawley fully shuts down any rumors or hopes that followers might have about seeing the 2 epic creatures go face to face in Alien: Earth season 2. By emphasizing Trachtenberg’s stewardship of the Predator franchise and praising his work on Prey and Badlands, he’s drawing a transparent line between the 2 franchises. Nevertheless, the creator’s response doesn’t suggest {that a} crossover would by no means occur. Hawley merely stated that it would not happen on his present.
There are such a lot of extra alternatives for the Xenomorphs and Yautja to cross paths. Predator: Badlands already made it very clear that the 2 universes are related. The brand new movie featured synths from Weyland-Yutani, the primary company antagonists within the Alien franchise. This might be Disney’s method of establishing a future undertaking that may star each aliens.
A sequel to the hit science fiction movie, Alien: Romulus, can be on the best way. Whereas it stays unsure whether or not that film will intersect with the Predator franchise, a possible crossover might nonetheless be attainable.
Alien: Earth is the primary TV collection within the historical past of the franchise. The present takes place in 2120, the place a analysis vessel crash-lands on Earth, unleashing Xenomorphs and different threats onto the planet. The collection follows a crew of younger artificial hybrids dubbed the Misplaced Boys by their creator, Boy Kavalier, proprietor of Prodigy Corp. It is a prequel to the 1979 movie Alien.
