Alien: Romulus Sequel in Early Development as Director Seeks Fresh Storyline

Fede Álvarez confirms plans for a follow-up but emphasizes the importance of finding a compelling narrative before moving forward.

Director Fede Álvarez and 20th Century Studios have expressed interest in an Alien: Romulus sequel, but no script or timeline has been finalized.
Álvarez and co-writer Rodo Sayagues are focused on developing a story that is both original and worthy of the Alien franchise's legacy.
Fans have urged the filmmakers to avoid overreliance on nostalgia and callbacks, which were points of criticism in Alien: Romulus despite its critical and commercial success.
Alien: Romulus grossed $350.8 million globally and received the best reviews for the franchise since James Cameron's Aliens, solidifying its place as a strong entry in the series.
Ridley Scott is also reportedly working on a separate Alien project, ensuring the franchise's continued presence in science fiction cinema.
