The anticipation is palpable for fans of the Alien franchise with the announcement of another season of Alien: Earth. However, creator Noah Hawley has made it clear that he does not have plans for any crossovers with the Predator in mind.
In a recent episode of the Smartless podcast, Hawley stated, “It’s not really my plan” to merge the two iconic extraterrestrial worlds on screen. While he appreciates the efforts of Dan Trachtenberg, the current steward of the Predator series, Hawley has assured fans that no such coordination is underway. This comes even after the recent Predator: Badlands comic connected the two franchises through Weyland-Yutani.
The buzz around potential confrontations between the Alien and Predator continues unabated. With the original Alien vs. Predator reaching its 20th anniversary in 2024, there has been speculation about what lies ahead. During promotional rounds for Alien: Romulus, director Fede Álvarez hinted at a possible third installment in which he and Trachtenberg could each direct half of the movie. Furthermore, an Alien-focused podcast recently claimed that a 10-episode anime series about the AvP exists, a project reportedly completed before Disney’s acquisition of Fox, although it remains uncertain why Disney has no plans to release it.
With fans actively expressing their desire for another showdown between the Xenomorph and Yautja, it’s clear that there’s significant demand for it. Only time will tell how Disney will respond to this fervent interest. Until then, both franchises will pursue their individual narratives, which include a sequel to Romulus and more Predator adventures directed by Trachtenberg.
What can we expect from the new season of Alien: Earth? As the creator focuses on his vision, fans are left to speculate about emerging plots and themes that could shape the series.
Will there be a new Alien vs. Predator movie? While fans remain hopeful, there are no confirmed plans for another crossover film at this time.
Are there any other upcoming projects in the Alien franchise? Yes, besides Alien: Earth, a sequel to Alien: Romulus and new Predator installments are in the works, promising more thrilling adventures.
What is the future of the Predator franchise? Given the success of recent titles, including Prey, fans can reasonably expect more films and possibly further lore expansions.
As HBO and streaming platforms continue producing more content around beloved franchises, the possibilities for both Alien and Predator are exciting to consider. It’s an excellent time to be a fan of these sci-fi legends.
