Fede Alvarez has plenty of credit in the bank with horror hounds thanks to helming offerings such as the 2013 Evil Dead reboot and 2016's Don't Breathe. And in 2024, the Uruguayan gets to try his hand at the Alien franchise with Alien: Romulus.

While plot details are scarce right now, star Cailee Spaeny has revealed that Romulus will take place between Ridley Scott's Alien and James Cameron's Aliens, and some of the crew who worked on the Xenomorph design for Aliens carried out the same job on Alien: Romulus.

Initially set to be released directly to Hulu, Alien: Romulus will now instead be hitting theaters on 16 August.
