Contains minor spoilers for “Predator: Badlands”<\/strong><\/p>\n

A full recap before going into “Predator: Badlands”<\/a> would entail watching both the “Predator” and “Alien” franchises. Dek (Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi) is a Yautja going to a dangerous world to prove himself to his father, and along the way, he gets help from a Weyland-Yutani synthetic named Thia (Elle Fanning). The connection’s been clear since the first trailer, and fans may have gone into the movie hoping for more “Alien” references, like a Xenomorph popping up. Alas, a third “Alien vs. Predator” movie isn’t happening quite yet<\/a>, but there is a brief voiceover cameo from … “Stranger Things” creators Matt and Ross Duffer?<\/p>\n

There aren’t that many characters in “Predator: Badlands,” so when the final credits roll, there are only a few performers to get through. However, you’ll notice that the Duffers are credited as the voice of Kwei’s (Mike Homik) computer ship. Kwei’s the one who sends Dek to Genna to kill the Kalisk so that he can prove himself to their father, sacrificing his life in the process. Matt and Ross Duffer aren’t actors, so it’s understandable people wouldn’t recognize their voices. It also doesn’t help that they’re speaking Yautja, but it’s a neat Easter egg that has a deeper meaning than you might realize.<\/p>\n
