Friday at San Diego Comic-Con offered fans a rare opportunity to hear from two of the people primarily responsible for major franchises, in the same place, on the same day. And that’s exactly what happened in both the Alien: Earth and Predator: Badlands panels, which both took place in Hall H.

It's been over 20 years since the Xenomorph fought the Yautja in "Alien vs. Predator." Now, it looks like Disney could be setting the stage for a rematch.

Badlands is mostly revealed in the latest action-packed trailer, but an increasingly popular theory indicates that the movie could actually be a stealth reboot of the Alien vs. Predator franchise cross-over.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, "Badlands" director Dan Trachtenberg confirms Fanning's character Thia is a Weyland-Yutani synthetic, and he also explains why he chose that over casting the actress as a human.

Dan Trachtenberg, director of multiple Predator movies, addresses the challenges of an Alien vs Predator movie but considers the chances.

Predator: Badlands centers on Dek (Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi), a young-and-hungry Yautja warrior who is the runt of the litter in his clan and has a whole lot to prove. He teams up with an unlikely ally: Thia ( Elle Fanning ), a synthetic made by the Weyland-Yutani company (from the Alien franchise).
