Following the outstanding success of Fede Alvarez’s Alien: Romulus, the director has teased about the future of the standalone movie, a sequel and when viewers can expect a follow-up movie. Alvarez’s new installment after Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant in 2017 goes back to the franchise’s roots.
The movie follows Cailee Spaeny’s character Rain, along with her young friends, as they confront a deadly Xenomorph on an abandoned space station. The movie ends with Rain and Andy surviving the ordeal as the two make their way to a distant planet called Yvaga. Although there is no confirmation of the sequel yet, Alvarez was asked in a recent interview if he has any ideas for Alien: Romulus sequel.
The director teased that the sequel could pick the story of Rain and Andy’s journey to Yvaga. He shared, “For me, it’s always been about story. So, once we finished, we started thinking, ‘What do you think happens when or if they get to your Yvaga? Is it going to be great? Or is it a terrible place?’ We tend to believe it’s probably a terrible place that they think is great and fantasize about, so we naturally start thinking about where it goes and what’s going to happen. And then, a few minutes in, we go, ‘Oh, that sounds like a sequel.’”
