Alien: Romulus sequel will not be directed by Fede Alvarez.
The Alien franchise, with its iconic creatures considered "Disney royalty", is currently experiencing a resurgence in popularity. This resurgence is in part due to the successful release of the movie Alien: Romulus, produced by 20th Century Studios, which grossed an impressive $350 million globally.
Fede Álvarez, the director of Alien: Romulus, will not return for the sequel. Instead, he and Ridley Scott are searching for a new directing talent to take over the next film in the Alien series. Álvarez has previously worked with Rodo Sayagues on past features, including the Don't Breathe series and Evil Dead (2013).
In an exciting turn of events, Álvarez has expressed interest in directing an Alien vs. Predator sequel alongside Dan Trachtenberg, known for directing "Prey".
The script for the Alien: Romulus sequel was written by Fede Alvarez and Rodo Sayagues. However, details about future Alien projects are not specified at this time.
The Alien franchise's resurgence is also being attributed to Noah Hawley's current FX series, Alien: Earth. The immersive experience at SDCC was met with a lot of love, and fans are eagerly anticipating more.
Interestingly, plans for a sequel to Alien: Romulus were announced, but no information about the new director has been disclosed yet. Meanwhile, an Alien meet and greet is requested at Walt Disney World, further demonstrating the franchise's enduring appeal.
