A sequel to Alien: Romulus is potentially in the works, and director Fede Alvarez has provided some updates on the upcoming film.

Speaking with Empire Online this week, Alvarez explained that the film is in the works and that it will explore new territory. “Rodo [Sayagues] and I are working on that right now.”

“We’re excited about where it can go. We’ve almost checked all of the boxes of things that I want to see and brought back a lot of the things I hadn’t seen in a while. Wherever we go now, we can go into uncharted waters.”

“I think it’ll be so exciting to go with characters you know from this movie, to a place in the Alien franchise that we’ve never been before, and to discover things that you’ve never seen before.”

20th Century Studios head Steve Asbell revealed earlier in a sit down with The Hollywood Reporter that a follow-up movie to Alien: Romulus is being actively discussed and how the sequel would follow Rain and Andy played by Cailee Spaeny and David Jonsson.
