Under the direction of Fede Álvarez, known for his work on Evil Dead and Don't Breathe, the film puts a fresh group of characters in front of the most horrible life form of the universe, so transporting viewers to a period between the events of the first two Alien films.
Romulus follows a group of young space colonists who are scavenging an abandoned space station called Romulus and are thus exploring the unknown. Their goal is to pilfers highly regulated tools. But when they come upon the terrifying Xenomorphs, the legendary species that have plagued the franchise for decades, their search for valuable resources rapidly turns into a desperate struggle for survival.
The movie boasts a gifted ensemble comprising:
Cailee Spaeny as Rain Cadine
David Jonson
Archival Renaux

Romulus is a conscious divergence from the more action-oriented road of Aliens and Prometheus's mythological investigations of Alien: Covenant. The movie welcomes the heart-pounding suspense and claustrophobic environment that made the original Alien such a revolutionary masterwork.
With facehuggers hiding in the shadows and the horrific return of the infamous chestburster scene, suggesting a horrific twist on the legendary moment that stunned viewers in the original film, the trailer exposes the terrible reality of the Xenomorphs.
The movie presents a fresh viewpoint with a new generation of heroes even while it brings back the classic horror components that made the series famous. With a pulse rifle evocative of Sigourney Weaver's Ripley, Rain Carradine, Cailee Spaeny's character, seems to be the "final girl," implying a potential for a new heroine to carry the franchise forward.
Romulus is a stand-alone movie that explores the origins of the Xenomorphs and their effect on the universe in a fresh and terrible light, so allowing a unique narrative that deviates from the Alien series in a period not hitherto explored.

The involvement of Ridley Scott, the director of the original Alien, who is a producer on Alien: Romulus guarantees that the movie stays true to the original vision and catches the core of the legacy of the franchise, so adding to the excitement for the release of the movie.
Alien: Romulus guarantees a terrifying cinematic experience that will have viewers on the brink of their seats by being committed to the horror genre.
