‘We Can Go Into Uncharted Waters’ – Fede Alvarez Talks Alien: Romulus 2

Ahead of the release of their upcoming issue, Empire has posted a couple of snippets from a new interview with Alien: Romulus writer and director Fede Alvarez in which they discuss the reception of the film, its controversial aspects and the upcoming sequel. In a new snippet shared by Empire, Fede Alvarez confirmed that he and his writing partner Rodo Sayagues (who also co-write Romulus) are hard at work on the sequel!

“Rodo [Sayagues, co-writer] and I are working on that right now. 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.”

Alvarez also hinted to Empire that Alien: Romulus’s sequel would return to Rain and Andy, making this the first Alien film in quite some time to feature returning protagonists.

“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.”

The writer/director also reiterated a point he’d made previously that just because Alien: Romulus was successful, it didn’t mean they had to make a follow-up, but that he would only want to return if he had something “worthy” of Alien.

“The mistake usually with sequels is to make them because you can, and because of the success of Romulus, we definitely can make a sequel. But I wouldn’t do it unless we have a really good idea for it, something that’s worthy of the title.”
