The sequel to Alien: Romulus gets a surprising new update, with one key figure not returning.
During a recent interview with TooFab, Romulus director Fede Alvarez reveals that he will not return to direct the confirmed sequel. He’s not leaving the Alien franchise entirely, however, as the filmmaker says he will remain onboard as a producer alongside franchise creator Ridley Scott. Check out Alvarez’s comment below:
“We just finished the script, actually, for a sequel for Romulus. But I’m gonna pass the torch on this one as director. I’m going to produce it, with Ridley Scott, we’re gonna produce it together and we’re right now trying to find a new filmmaker to come in.
“I think that’s usually what has happened, except for Ridley, filmmakers come, you make one and you pass the baton to the next one. But we wrote the story because we really love what we started with Romulus and we want to continue the story. We love the story and now we just want to find a director that really wants to go for the jugular.”
