Alien: Romulus (2025) is the latest installment in the iconic Alien franchise, continuing the terrifying saga of humans encountering deadly xenomorphs. Directed by Fede Álvarez, known for his work on Don’t Breathe and Evil Dead (2013), the film is expected to blend sci-fi horror with intense, suspense-driven storytelling, characteristic of the Alien series.
While specific plot details remain under wraps, Alien: Romulus is rumored to take the franchise back to its horror roots, focusing on a group of characters who find themselves trapped and hunted by the xenomorphs. The title Romulus hints at either a new setting or possibly a thematic connection to exploration, survival, or even colonization, as Romulus is a reference to the founder of Rome in mythological history.
The film aims to recapture the tension and atmosphere of the original Alien (1979) and Aliens (1986), focusing more on psychological and claustrophobic horror. Fede Álvarez’s direction suggests a darker, more grounded approach, which could revitalize the series for both new audiences and long-time fans of the Alien universe. As with previous entries, fans can expect the eerie presence of the xenomorphs to be central to the story, along with the potential for deeper exploration into the franchise’s lore.
