Cailee Spaeny (Priscilla) is the one chosen to star in “Alien: Romulus“, the new film in the franchise directed by Fede Álvarez, which will have its highly anticipated debut on the big screen tomorrow.
The story, which separates itself from the originals and the prequel series directed by Ridley Scott, follows a group of young people from a distant world who must face the most terrifying life form in the universe.
The Uruguayan filmmaker’s fresh and terrifying approach has allowed him to bring his unique style to the Alien universe while staying true to the franchise’s roots in horror and science fiction.
Will Alien: Romulus have a sequel?
So far, it has not been officially confirmed whether the new Alien movie directed by Fede Álvarez will have a sequel. The development of sequels generally depends on the success of the initial film at the box office.
If the eighth installment of the franchise meets or exceeds expectations in those aspects, it is likely that the studios will consider continuing the story and expanding it into new parts, as has happened before.
Given that the Alien saga already has an extensive legacy and a loyal fan base, there is a possibility that the producers will choose to develop a sequel to continue exploring this universe with Cailee Spaeny.
According to reports, the initial reactions from critics who have seen the horror and science fiction drama are very positive, which could pave the way for future installments. The Verge has stated that the title is “a solid franchise tribute“.
