Predator Director Dan Trachtenberg Reportedly in Talks With Marvel About New Film

Marvel Studios is in talks with Dan Trachtenberg, the director of Prey and Predator: Badlands, according to sources cited by The Cosmic Circus. The outlet reports that he could write and direct a solo film about a Marvel character for the next phase of the cinematic universe.

The character has not been identified. Media outlets have speculated that the film could focus on Nova, Blade, or Wolverine, but those possibilities remain speculation.

Trachtenberg previously met with Marvel during early work on Guardians of the Galaxy. He said on the Happy Sad Confused podcast that his Portal short film caught the attention of producer Jeremy Latcham, who introduced him to Kevin Feige. James Gunn ultimately directed Guardians of the Galaxy. If The Cosmic Circus report is confirmed, Trachtenberg will have a second chance to work with Marvel.
