Elle Fanning gets to show off both her heroic and villainous sides in 'Predator: Badlands,' taking on a challenging dual role in the sci-fi sequel.
The 27-year-old actress appears in a deleted scene from the film that has been shared exclusively by PEOPLE. The movie, directed by Dan Trachtenberg, hit theatres in November and went on to become the highest-grossing entry in the long-running 'Predator' franchise.

The at-home version of the film also features more deleted scenes, audio commentary, and behind-the-scenes content, including a special look at how Fanning brought both roles to life.
Schuster-Koloamatangi has shared how striking the difference felt between Fanning's two characters on set. He explained that her presence changed depending on which android she was portraying, saying he could physically sense the shift. When she appeared as Tessa in her crisp white outfit, he found himself feeling more guarded, as if he were dealing with someone entirely different from Thia.
