Despite being dismembered, she joins a young Predator named Dek on a hunt. Thia mirrors characteristics of Weyland-Yutani robots, such as David from Prometheus, showcasing sardonic humor and manipulation. This suggests potential deeper connections to the Alien universe. Additionally, reports indicate that Fanning may play dual roles, contributing to ongoing intrigue around the film's narrative.
