It’s no shock that twentieth Century Studios greenlit one other Alien movie after the business success of 2024’s Alien: Romulus. Information on what that upcoming sci-fi horror function can be about, nevertheless, has been sparse.

When the movie was launched, Fede Álvarez, who directed Romulus and co-wrote the script, advised The Hollywood Reporter that “as soon as we completed [Alien: Romulus], we began pondering, ‘What do you assume occurs when or in the event that they get to Yvaga? Is it going to be nice? Or is it a horrible place?’ We are likely to consider it’s most likely a horrible place that they assume is nice and fantasize about, so we naturally began fascinated about the place it goes and what’s going to occur. After which, a couple of minutes in, we go, ‘Oh, that feels like a sequel.’”

He added in that interview that it was finest to attend a minimum of two years earlier than writing a sequel. Flashforward to immediately, one yr later, and Álvarez revealed that he and frequent collaborator Rodo Sayagues have written precisely that.

“We simply completed the script, truly, for a sequel for Romulus. However I’m going to go the torch on this one as director,” he advised TooFab on the purple carpet for Common Studios Halloween Horror Nights. “I’m going to supply it, with Ridley Scott, we’re going to supply it collectively and we’re proper now looking for a brand new filmmaker to come back in.”

He added, “I feel that’s often what has occurred, aside from Ridley, filmmakers come, you make one and also you go the baton to the subsequent one. However we wrote the story as a result of we actually love what we began with Romulus and we wish to proceed the story. We love the story and now we simply wish to discover a director that actually desires to go for the jugular.”

Álvarez’s obvious affirmation that the film is a direct sequel to the occasions of Romulus means that the artistic crew determined to decide to that route, despite the fact that producer Michael Pruss mentioned again in February 2025 in an interview with ScreenRant that engaged on the movie was in its early days and that it “will not be a direct sequel to Romulus, but it surely definitely is part of the prevailing franchise.”

Given this growth, odds are good that we’ll see the return of actors Cailee Spaeny and David Jonsson. However whereas the script is outwardly finished, the challenge nonetheless wants that aforementioned director connected, so it might be a number of extra months earlier than we get extra Alien film information.
