Description
For the first time in Predator history, we see the world through the eyes of the hunter – played by actor Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi. In this Popcorn Podcast interview, Schuster-Koloamatangi breaks down his transformation into Dek, a young Yautja outcast fighting to prove his worth in Dan Trachtenberg’s (Prey, 10 Cloverfield Lane) latest sci-fi thriller, Predator: Badlands.
