Alien: Rolumus breathed new life into the long-running sci-fi saga, but its sequel plans are already repeating an error of the Ridley Scott prequel era. Romulus was exactly the kind of clean slate the Alien movie series needed, with the film requiring no real prior experience for newcomers while offering many easter eggs and callbacks for devotees. Alien: Romulus‘ box office success makes a sequel inevitable, and a THR interview with 20th Century’s Steve Asbell makes it clear the studio wants director Fede lvarez back for the next movie.
