The film stars Elle Fanning and Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Predator: Badlands holds an 87% \u201cCertified Fresh\u201d score on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/m\/predator_badlands\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Rotten Tomatoes;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>, making it the best-reviewed theatrically released Predator film to date.
