Alien: Romulus
New footage from Alien: Romulus has been unveiled, offering a glimpse of the ninth installment in the iconic Alien franchise, which includes the 2004 and 2007 crossovers with Predator. Directed by Fede Alvarez, Romulus is set between the events of the 1979 classic Alien and its 1986 sequel Aliens. The story follows a group of colonists who encounter the deadly Xenomorph predator aboard an abandoned space station.
The cast features Cailee Spaeny, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, and Isabela Merced. At CinemaCon in Las Vegas, Screen Rant got an exclusive preview of new footage. One intense scene shows Renaux’s character and a synthetic trapped in a room with Facehuggers while Spaeny’s character, Rain Carradine, watches in terror. Although they narrowly escape, the Facehuggers relentlessly pursue them down a ship’s corridor. Another shocking moment depicts a Chestburster erupting from Aileen Wu as she and Merced’s character crash a small boat into a fuel cell after Wu inadvertently disrupts the controls.
