After the success of Alien: Romulus, it wasn’t too surprising to learn that the film would be getting a sequel. And between its upcoming standalone series and the now-confirmed Alien: Romulus sequel, it’s clear that the franchise still has plenty of gas in the tank. But what might that next chapter look like?

While chatting with Empire, director Fede Alvarez hinted at the upcoming film, admitting, “Rodo [Sayagues, co-writer] 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 [in Alien: Romulus] 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.”
