Summary With the premiere of Alien: Romulus fast approaching, director Fede Álvarez teases the practical effects and the upcoming film’s body count. The midquel boasts a cast led by Cailee Spaeny and also stars David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Isabela Merced, Spike Fearn, and Aileen Wu.
Archie Renaux : Everything was very, very practical, and that was nice. When I first spoke to Fede about this project, he explained that everything was going to be built and the world was going to be very, very real, and that’s just what you want, as an actor.

Prometheus was considered a solid film by critics, but chose to go in a direction many fans of the franchise didn’t want, as did Alien: Covenant. With the new movie, however, it seems like the franchise is going back to its roots, and that decision has been warmly welcomed by fans so far, even if the Alien: Romulus trailers seemed to have given so much away.
