In the captivating sneak peek, we are introduced to Elle Fanning's character, who appears to inhabit a perilous, distant planet in the future.

"The director of Prey welcomes you to a world of pain," teases the trailer, setting the stage for an intense cinematic experience.

At CinemaCon, 20th Century Studios unveiled the official synopsis for the film: "In the future on a remote planet, a young Predator, outcast from his clan, finds an unlikely ally in Thia and embarks on a treacherous journey in search of the ultimate adversary."

"Something unprecedented happens in this movie," Elle Fanning shared with the audience at CinemaCon. "My character is not the one being chased. My character actually teams up with the Predator. And you get to see him in a completely new light. And... I'll stop there!"
