- On Thursday, Fede Álvarez said he will not direct the Alien: Romulus sequel but has finished the script with Rodo Sayagues and will produce it with Ridley Scott.
- Álvarez explained his decision by saying he wants to work on the personal original project he and co-writer Rodo Sayagues have kept 'on the back burner' and framed it as 'passing the baton' in the franchise.
- Cailee Spaeny and David Jonsson are expected to reprise their roles as Rain and Andy, with 20th Century Studios keeping plot details secret and no release date announced.
- Following Romulus's success, 20th Century Studios quickly developed a sequel with Álvarez in pre-production and expected October filming, but no release date has been announced.
