Well, we’ve got the latest info on the sequel’s current status from 20th Century Studios’ senior production executive Steve Asbell.
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he said: “We’re looking at sequel ideas right now. We’re not quite done with the Fede deal yet. [Alvarez]but we do it, and he has an idea that we’re working on.
He went on to say that the two main characters and survivors from the first film will be part of the next story. “The two survivors, Rain and Andy, were Kelly Spaeny and david johnsonis the real highlight of the film.
“So I always thought, ‘Wow, where do people want to see them go next?’ We knew there were going to be aliens. We knew there were going to be great horror scenes. But I fell in love with both of them, I want to see what their story is.
director Fede Alvarez revealed that he and co-author Rodo Sayagues (evil Dead) already have some ideas for a sequel.
exist Alien: Romulus“While searching the depths of an abandoned space station, a group of young space colonists encounter the most terrifying life forms in the universe.”
Previously speaking about the possibility of a sequel, Alvarez said: “Yeah, I definitely can [pitch a sequel right now]. We tend to do it naturally, without even thinking about sequels.
“For us, movies didn’t become franchises and tentpoles and sequels. That’s a language I learned in the last ten years of my working life. [in Hollywood]. For me, the story is always the most important thing.
He went on to tease the story’s direction: “So, once we finished that, we started thinking, ‘What do you think is going to happen when they get to Iwaga? Is it going to be great? Or is it a scary place?
“We tend to think that this is probably a scary place that they think is great and fantasizes about, so naturally we started thinking about where it would go and what would happen.
“Then, after a few minutes, we said, ‘Oh, this sounds like a sequel.'” But we did try to think about it more from a story perspective and whether it needed another chapter and whether people wanted to know what the sequel would be. What happens next.
“So we’ll wait and see what people think and whether people ask for it. My philosophy is you should never [a sequel] Within two years. You must leave. You have to make the audience really want it.

It will be exciting to see what he and his creative team talk about next with this story. I have no doubt he will deliver something great again.
