ALIEN: ROMULUS Director Fede Alvarez offers updates on the sequel

Alien: Romulus it was a huge success for Disney and 20th Century Studios and one day there will be a sequel, it’s inevitable. Director Fede Alvarez previously said that they are actively working on another movie and now we have an update on that.

During a recent interview with io9, Alvarez was concerned about the sequel and said, “Well, I mean, we definitely want to do it. The studio wants to do it. I want to do it.

“I think with sequels it’s always about finding the right story. Me and Rodo [Sayagues]my co-writer, we have some ideas, but it’s only when we find something that we say, “Okay, That it’s a film worth making” that we really embark on it.

“So that’s the process we’re in now, trying to find a story that’s worth everyone’s time and worthy of the title.

“Otherwise you never want to fall into the mistake of doing [a sequel] just because the first one is a great success… [making a sequel] just because you Candies do it, it’s always a recipe for disaster.

As for what the story will entail, Alvarez has previously said that the two main characters, who survived the first film, will be part of the next story. “The two survivors, Rain and Andy, played by Cailee Spaeny AND David Jonssonwere the real highlights of the film.

“And so I’m always thinking about, ‘Wow, where do people want to see them go next?’ We know there will be aliens. We know there will be great horror scenes. But I fell in love with both of them and I want to see what their story is.”

He continued to tease where the story might go: “So once it was over, we started thinking, ‘What do you think will happen when or if they get to Yvaga? Will it be great? Or is it a terrible place?’

“We tend to believe that it’s probably a terrible place that they think is great and fantasize about, so we naturally started thinking about where it goes and what’s going to happen.

“And then, after a few minutes, we say, ‘Oh, it feels like a sequel.’ But we really try to think about it more in terms of the story, whether it needs another chapter and whether people want to know what happens next.

It will be a while before we see a sequel to Alien: Romulus, but one day it will happen and I can’t wait to see what story they tell.
