‘Predator: Badlands’ Almost featured Nazi’s and a World War II Setting

I recently learned from an interview with The Direct about a really interesting idea director Trachtenberg had while developing Predator: Badlands. He was brainstorming ways to make the Predator the hero of the story, and his initial thought process involved, well, Nazis. He figured everyone agrees Nazis are the bad guys, so it could work! He shared this during the interview, and I found it a fascinating peek into the film’s development.
