Alien: Romulus is Álvarez’s fourth directorial feature, coming five years after his last project, The Girl in the Spider’s Web. His previous works, including Don’t Breathe and Evil Dead, have showcased his knack for creating suspenseful and engaging narratives, making him a fitting choice for the latest addition to the Alien franchise.
The film boasts a screenplay co-written by Álvarez and Rodo Sayagues, promising a fresh take on the iconic series. The cast is led by Cailee Spaeny, known for her roles in The Craft: Legacy and Priscilla, and includes Isabela Merced (Sicario: Day of the Soldado), David Jonsson (Industry, Rye Lane), Archie Renaux (Shadow and Bone), Spike Fearn (Tell Me Everything), and Aileen Wu.

While details about the plot and characters are still being kept under wraps, it has been revealed that Alien: Romulus will be “unconnected” to previous films. This suggests that Álvarez and his team are taking the franchise in a new direction, offering a fresh perspective on the Alien universe.
This new direction is a result of a casual conversation between Álvarez and franchise creator Ridley Scott, during which Álvarez pitched a film idea. This conversation eventually led to Scott reaching out to Álvarez to see if he was still interested in bringing his idea to life. The strength of Álvarez’s pitch was such that 20th Century Studios quickly picked up the new Alien movie. According to 20th Century’s Steve Asbell, the pitch was a “really good story with a bunch of characters you haven’t seen before.”
