Alien: Romulus 2 is already in the works, according to writer-director Fede Álvarez. Rumors of a sequel have been building ever since Romulus defied expectations at the box office last summer, and now Álvarez has not only confirmed that the project is greenlit — he has revealed his progress.

With director Fede Alvarez continuing to write the movie, the filmmaker has shared he hopes the sequel to 'Alien: Romulus' will enter production this year.
