20th Century Studios’ Steve Asbell confirmed that a sequel idea for Alien: Romulus is currently being worked on and that a deal with Álvarez is expected to be finalized in the near future:

“We’re working on a sequel idea now. We haven’t quite closed our deal with Fede, but we are going to, and he has an idea that we’re working on,” he said.

“The two survivors, Rain and Andy, played by Cailee Spaeny and David Jonsson, were real highlights of the film. And so I always think of it like, ‘Wow, where do people want to see them go next?’ We know there’s going to be aliens. We know there’s going to be great horror set pieces. But I fell in love with both of them and I want to see what their story is.”

In a new interview with Empire, Alvarez says they’re developing the follow-up now and this time the aim is to go somewhere new and not where you might expect to go:

“Rodo [Sayagues, co-writer] and I are working on that right now. We’re excited about where it can go. We’ve almost checked all of the boxes of things that I want to see [in Romulus], and brought back a lot of the things I hadn’t seen in a while. Wherever we go now, we can go into uncharted waters.”

The next film will keep following Cailee Spaeny’s Rain and David Jonsson’s Andy characters, and he promises they won’t go forward with it until they have an idea worthy of a new entry:

“I think it’ll be so exciting to go with characters you know from this movie, to a place in the Alien franchise that we’ve never been before, and to discover things that you’ve never seen before. The mistake usually with sequels is to make them because you can, and because of the success of Romulus, we definitely can make a sequel. But I wouldn’t do it unless we have a really good idea for it, something that’s worthy of the title.”
