Fede Álvarez says he's ready to go big or go home to watch his next Alien movie.
“Rodo [Sayagues, co-writer] and I'm working on that right now,” Alvarez told Empire. “We're excited to see where it can go. We've pretty much checked all the boxes of things I want to see that I want to see. [in Romulus]and I recovered many of the things I had not seen in a long time. Wherever we go now, we can enter uncharted waters. “I think it will be very exciting to go with characters you know from this movie, to a place in the Alien franchise that we've never been before and discover things you've never seen before.”
Fox president Steve Asbell announced last year that a sequel to the hit film was in the works, adding that he “fell in love” with survivors Rain (Cailee Spaeny) and Andy (Daniel Jonsson) and wants to “see what their history”. However, Asbell specified that a deal had not yet been finalized nor had the sequel been officially greenlit.
Alien: Romulus, directed by Alvarez, grossed $350.8 million versus $80 million at the global box office, and was hailed by fans and critics alike as one of the best Alien films in the franchise. The ending definitely opens the door for a sequel, so it will be exciting to see where Alvarez decides to take it.
