Well this is encouraging, just hope it doesn't fall into the many examples of development hell not releasing for an another five to seven years later.
Also hope Fede isn't slapping together poorly thought out ideas, that's there come up with a decent story and concept, that they've intrinsically thought this project through, taking it on with enthusiasm, genuine creative drive not phoning it in.
It's curious that even though Fede brought in some new elements and made the movie his own many do regard Alien Romulus as another rehash which applies to a lot of movies nowadays which are Sequels, Reboots, LegacySequels, Soft reboots, ReQuels ect.
Though Alien Romulus repeated stuff for fan service it was commercially successful it played it safe but that worked to its benefit but what if the next project suffers from doing the opposite. Wonder with Fede's sequel, if by taking the series into new and radically different territory theres bound to be backlash and rejected by a large contingent of the fandom. (for example to nihilistic climatic style of Alien3, the quirky dark comedy style of Alien Resurrection and the ambitious philosophical style and creative choices of Prometheus some fans admire these movies and what they entail while many utterly despise em and wish never existed)
While new and expansive ideas directions would be intriguing to see explored with more movies in the series there's a worry for the filmmakers they'll probably have some creative restrictions forced upon them out of fear of falling out of favour with the fandom. Hope wiser heads prevail, the quality is persevered and that future of the franchise is a bright one.
