Romulus director has a cool idea to bring back the crossover franchise, but it would probably be impossible to pull off.

At a recent screening of Alien Romulus hosted by the folk at Collider, Alien Romulus writer & director Fede Alvarez was asked about his return to the Alien franchise and confirmed he was already writing the script with the hope to begin filming this year!

Alien: Romulus 2 is already in the works, according to writer-director Fede Álvarez. Rumors of a sequel have been building ever since Romulus defied expectations at the box office last summer, and now Álvarez has not only confirmed that the project is greenlit — he has revealed his progress.

Imagine going to a movie and not knowing it's secretly a sequel. In today's entertainment landscape, it's almost impossible to conceive of a studio not leveraging the IP of a franchise in order to generate buzz.
