Predator: Badlands marks the Yautja’s return with a new chapter in the iconic sci-fi franchise. Many fans are wondering and asking if the movie features any post-, mid-, or end-credits scenes hinting at the next installment in the sci-fi franchise.
Here’s all you need to learn the credits scenes in Predator: Badlands.
Does Predator: Badlands have a post, mid, or end-credits scene?
Fans hoping for a bonus scene after Predator: Badlands will be disappointed to know that the movie does not have a post-credits or mid-credits scene. Director Dan Trachtenberg chose to end the story cleanly without adding any extra footage or teases for the next installment.
The Predator franchise has explored post-credits scenes in the past. Especially in Predator: Killer of Killers, which featured the first such moment. However, Predator: Badlands skipped the trend. There’s no mid-credits tease, no hidden ending, and no extended scene hinting at future battles.
In the past, the franchise used post-credits scenes to set up future stories. Prey ended with an animated sequence teasing Naru’s tribe facing a fleet of Yautja ships. However, Predator: Killer of Killers ended by setting up a new storyline with Ursa, Naru, Dutch, and Harrigan fighting together.
However, Predator: Badlands breaks away from the pattern this time. The movie ends without any clear indication of what comes next, leaving the franchise’s future open-ended. The film stars Elle Fanning and Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi. It is scheduled for release in U.S. theaters on November 7, 2025. Early reviews from critics have already been overwhelmingly positive.
Reports suggest Predator: Badlands could earn over $25 million in its North American debut, making it the second-biggest opening in the Predator franchise. Globally, the movie is projected to earn $60–68 million, with a production cost of around $105 million. The sci-fi movie serves as the ninth entry in the franchise.
