Romulus sequel is still on director Fede Álvarez's to-do list, but the filmmaker wants a second film to meet a certain standard.

"Otherwise, you never want to fall into the mistake of making [a sequel] just because the first one is a big hit … [making a sequel] just because you can make it, that’s always a recipe for disaster," he continued. Ridley Scott is also said to be working on a new Alien movie, so there could be plenty more where that came from, too.

"Alien" movies have been frightening and delighting audiences since 1979 when the original, directed by Ridley Scott, was released in theaters. "Alien: Romulus" director Fede Alvarez told On The Red Carpet he is thrilled that his take on the franchise is bringing in all types of viewers.

Made on a production budget of $80 Million, Romulus grossed more than $350 million worldwide. Director Alvarez has now become one of the most anticipated names in the genre, having already helmed films like Evil Dead and Don’t Breathe.
