Watch On

To sum up Predator: Badland's plot in a nutshell, an outcast Yautja warrior heads to a killer alien planet to prove his worthiness and grudgingly teams up with a battered synthetic human in order to survive.

Starring Elle Fanning and Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi, the movie is as action-packed as you'd expect, but it's also got plenty of humorous moments. Badlands is also the first non-crossover Predator movie to get a PG-13 rating (2004's disappointing Alien vs Predator was also PG-13). That said, there is plenty of blood spilled in Badlands, but it's of the gloopy alien variety.

I watched Badlands at the cinema and was pleased to see some elements from the Alien series. Hulu (or Disney+ outside of the US) is also home to everything Alien-related, and if you haven't heard the news already, the fantastic Alien: Earth has been renewed for season two.

Of course, there's far more to this streaming bundle than just Predator and Alien, Hulu and Disney Plus are home to loads of other fantastic content, including the entire Marvel and Star Wars back catalogues, and we rate them in our best streaming services for sci-fi fans.

Wonder Man is the most recent release from Marvel and dropped last month. Starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Ben Kingsley, it's a far cry from typical Marvel blockbusters, but is rated as one of the MCU's best series – I loved it.

Next up for Marvel is season two of Daredevil: Born Again, on March 4. If season one somehow passed you by, do yourself a favor and add it to your watch list. Following later in the year will be the WandaVision spin-off, VisionQuest, and season two of the animated series X-Men '97 – air dates both TBC.

While by far the biggest Star Wars event this year is the release of The Mandalorian and Grogu movie on May 22, Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord lands on Disney+ April 6. That's followed by Ashoka season two, and Star Wars: Visions Presents – The Ninth Jedi, later in the year.

Key features: Every Predator movie, the complete Alien franchise, a vast library of Star Wars content, the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, every Avatar movie (Fire and Ash landing later this year), all the Transformers movies, The Beauty, Paradise (season two is confirmed) The Walking Dead, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, Futurama, The Strain, and much more.

Price history: We've seen previous offers on this Disney+ and Hulu bundle that run for longer than a month, but this is still decent value, and you can cancel the monthly subscription at any time.
