"Alien: Earth" has released multiple teasers over the past few months, seemingly having fun making fans wait for any kind of full trailer. Its most recent teaser, however, does reveal something intriguing; apparently the Xenomorphs won't be the only threat the heroes are facing this time around. You can watch the teaser below.

The voiceover reveals, "This ship collected five different lifeforms from the darkest corners of the universe...each one a unique, deadly species...monsters."

So the heroes won't just be dealing with the Xenomorph - which on its own is usually enough to rip apart most groups of heroes, but at least four more kinds of aliens. We don't know what those aliens might be, though a new poster from "Alien: Earth" shows what looks to be some kind of flying insect kept in one of the containers. You can see the poster yourself below.

One possibility fans are bound to start speculating is that one of the mysterious containers is imprisoning a Yautja, i.e., the hunters of the "Predator" films. With both the "Predator" and "Alien" franchises seeing a significant revival, fans are hoping for another "Alien Vs Predator" project in the near future, and any time there's even a hint of the two franchises crossing over, fans get excited.
Such is the case right now with the possibility that Elle Fanning is playing an android in the upcoming "Predator: Badlands". One shot shows something mechanical glazing over the actress' eyes, convincing many fans that she is an android like the ones played by Ian Holm, Lance Henriksen, and David Jonsson in the "Alien" franchise.
The official logline of "Alien: Earth" states, "When a mysterious space vessel crash-lands on Earth, a young woman (Sydney Chandler) and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers make a fateful discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet's greatest threat."
The series stars Sydney Chandler, Alex Lawther, Timothy Olyphant, Samuel Blenkin, David Rysdahl, Essie Davis, Adarsh Gourav, Babou Ceesay, Diem Camille, Moe Bar-El, Erana James, and Kit Young.
The show is directed and written by Noah Hawley, with both Hawley and Ridley Scott executive producing.
There's no firm premiere date for "Alien: Earth" yet, though the show is scheduled to be released this summer.

A Killer New 'Predator' Movie Is Quietly Releasing This Week. Here's How To Watch
If you love the 1987 action/horror classic Predator, there's some very good news. While the next live action movie, Predator: Badlands, won't hit theaters until November 7, this week, there's another new Predator movie sneakily coming to streaming. Directed by Dan Trachtenberg, the same guy who brought us Prey in 2022, a new animated movie called Predator: Killer of Killers is hitting Hulu this Friday. Here's what to know about the plot, the trailers, and when to stream the newest Predator Killer of Killers will hit Hulu on Friday, June 5, 2025. If you have Disney+ with a Hulu add-on, you can stream it that way, too. There have been two major trailers for Killer of Killers, one that reveals the basic premise of the movie, and another, a behind-the-scenes video detailing how this animated movie tries to take striking concept art and bring it to life. Unlike other Predator movies, Killer of Killers is an anthology concept, meaning the roughly 90-minute film has three sections, each depicting people battling Predators in different historical periods. The movie starts with ancient Vikings, moves to feudal Japan, and eventually, depicts Predators attacking WWII fighter planes. There is a method to this madness, though. All three stories are linked, and by the end of the movie, you'll see why. If the concept of Predators battling humans in historical settings sounds familiar, it should. In 2022, Trachtenberg's film Prey depicted a Comanche woman named Naru (Amber Midthunder) battling a Predator in 1719. The vibe of Killer of Killers very much follows the mood of Prey, and if you're paying attention, there's even some pretty big Easter eggs connected to that movie. Presumably, all of this is setting up the next big movie, Predator: Badlands. Starring Elle Fanning, that sci-fi action flick hits theaters on November 7.

Terror Touches Down on 'Alien: Earth' Official Trailer
Summary Get ready for a new chapter of terror, as the Xenomorph finally comes to released the highly anticipated official trailer forAlien: Earth, the new sci-fi horror series that marks the first time the iconic franchise brings its terrifying creatures to our home planet. The series, created by Emmy winner Noah Hawley and executive produced byRidley Scott, is a prequel set in the year 2120, two years before the events of the original Alien film. The plot kicks off when the mysterious deep space research vessel USCSS Maginot crash-lands on Earth. Its arrival unleashes mysterious, predatory life forms – including the infamous Xenomorph – onto a planet already grappling with a 'Corporate Era' dominated by five mega-corporations and the rise of advanced synthetics and 'hybrids.' The trailer introduces Sydney Chandler as Wendy, a 'hybrid' (a humanoid robot infused with human consciousness) and the first prototype from Prodigy Corporation, who finds herself face-to-face with humanity's greatest threat. The footage is packed with chilling visuals, hinting at claustrophobic ship hallways, intense encounters with various alien life forms (with one character ominously stating the ship 'collected five different life forms from the darkest corners of the universe,' and one being 'predatory,' suggesting even a Predator could appear), and the terrifying realization that the 'perfect organism' has arrived on Earth. The cast also includes Timothy Olyphant, Alex Lawther, and Samuel Blenkin, among Earthis the firs time Scott's franchise hits the small screens. Alien: Earthwill premiere with its first two episodes on August 12, 2025, at 8 PM on FX, with new episodes following weekly. It will also be available to stream on Hulu in the US and Disney+ internationally.

Zenless Zone Zero Plans on Bringing Back Its Coolest Forgotten Feature
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors HoYoverse's urban fantasy action RPG, Zenless Zone Zero, will celebrate its first birthday in July 2025 and can look back at a rollercoaster of a debut year. Following a difficult start, the developers managed to turn things around by making significant changes to the game. Some beloved features from the original version were forgotten during this process, though, as the team's resources had to be focused elsewhere. In an interview with DBLTAP, ZZZ's lead producer Zhenyu Li fueled fans' hope for the return of one of the coolest forgotten features of the game: Faction-based Chain Attacks. Zenless Zone Zero character Pan Yinhu battling a mutated Ethereal. Zenless Zone Zero character Pan Yinhu battling a mutated Ethereal. HoYoverse The combat game boasts an ever-growing cast of characters, called Agents, players can use on their adventures. All of these Agents belong to specific Factions present in the game's world — these range from military units and government agencies to construction companies and martial arts temples. Players can combine these characters into teams of three without restrictions and their abilities lend themselves to certain team compositions. What many players have forgotten about by now, though, is that the original release featured an additional factor that went into team-building — the aforementioned Faction-based attacks. Ben and Koleda, two members of a Faction called Belobog Industries, get special animations for one of their combat moves when they're teamed up with each other. At launch, this was one of the most exciting features and players hoped that they'd be able to discover more of these secret combos. However, the Ben and Koleda combination was the only one available at the time and then the team had more pressing issues to work on than adding more of these. Gradually, players even forgot that this feature exists. Asked about this aspect of the game, Zhenyu Li said that Faction-based Chain Attacks are "one of the future directions for combat design" in ZZZ, not only confirming that the feature is still on the developers' minds, but actually marking it out as one of the core pillars for the future, which is an exciting prospect for all players who enjoy building themed teams. With today's release of ZZZ 2.0, the game also arrived on Xbox Series X|S, allowing an entirely new wave of players to enjoy its action-packed battles and twisting narrative.
