Speaking with Empire, Álvarez confirmed that he and Sayagues are working on the script for the Alien: Romulus sequel. He said, “We’re excited about where it can go. We’ve almost checked all of the boxes of things that I want to see [in Romulus], and brought back a lot of the things I hadn’t seen in a while. Wherever we go now, we can go into uncharted waters. I think it’ll be so exciting to go with characters you know from this movie, to a place in the Alien franchise that we’ve never been before, and to discover things that you’ve never seen before.”
So he’s got the Easter Egg references out of his system then hopefully? Come on, a decent Alien film please! 🙂
Somehow, Ripley returned…
I really really really hope not. Butttt, IIRC Romulus happens between Alien and Aliens.
I don’t think you have to worry about it. Sigourney Weaver has a career very separate from Alien these days.
There was actually a good Alien novel saga that explored a mysterious reappearance of Ellen Ripley that turned out to be an android recreation of the real Ripley. I can’t remember if it was set before or after Alien Resurrection
