Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi on Predator: Badlands – the first Predator you’ll root for

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.

Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi shares how he:

• Learned the brand-new Yautja language built for the film

• Humanised cinema’s most feared monster

• Used drill music and reggae to control his emotional energy

• Represented Pacific Islander talent on a global Hollywood stage

Filmed on location in New Zealand and co-starring Elle Fanning, Predator: Badlands explores the Predator’s origins, culture and code of honour in ways fans have never seen before. Whether you’re a lifelong Predator fan or love behind-the-scenes storytelling, this is a must-listen Popcorn Podcast conversation.
