Alien: Romulus 2 was supposed to have begun filming back in October of 2025, but that never came to fruition. Fede Alvarez departed the project as director and last month, news broke that the director for A Quiet Place: Day One, Michael Sarnoski was in the running to take over. This month, a fresh interview with Romulus lead David Jonsson suggests the project might be gaining some traction finally...
Speaking to Collider, Jonsson responded to questions about his return as Andy in the next Alien movie. Jonsson didn't completely deny involvement, but did cryptically allude to the fact he isn't certain there's much momentum at all, either:
Whatever it is and whenever it happens, I can’t quite say.
Beyond that remark, Jonsson doesn't offer any additional reassurance that he's involved with the sequel. The remarks are certainly more reassuring than "I haven't got a call yet", but still – very little to go on.
Originally, Fede wanted to continue the Rain and Andy storyline following the conclusion of Alien: Romulus, but it's possible direction may have shifted. Very little information about the Romulus sequel has surfaced since it was originally announced over a year ago.
