'It’s a return to form,' filmmaker Fede Álvarez told The Associated Press.

" Alien Day " (April 26) has arrived, that annual occasion for all xenomorph acolytes to immerse themselves in the legends and lore of the storied "Alien" franchise that first hatched way back on May 25, 1979 to create one of the most frightening cinematic universes in Hollywood history.

Alien: Romulus will be released in cinemas on August 16, 2024. The film was initially going to get a straight-to-streaming release on Hulu, but this was switched to a theatrical release right before filming kicked off.
