The Alien franchise has been revitalized with the release of Alien: Romulus, which earned over $110 million globally in its opening weekend. The film, set between the original Alien and its sequel Aliens, follows survivors Rain Carradine and her android brother Andy as they escape a deadly encounter on a mining colony, leaving audiences speculating their fate on the planet Yvaga. Director Fede Alvarez has indicated that he and co-writer Rodo Sayagues already have ideas for a potential sequel, emphasizing that their focus remains on storytelling rather than franchise-building. Alvarez believes that if a sequel happens, it will explore whether Yvaga is a paradise or a nightmare. While the film has been met with commercial success, Alvarez stresses the importance of audience demand before proceeding with further installments. Fans are keenly awaiting confirmation on the future direction of the series.
