Filming for “Alien: Romulus” has been completed. The project, led by Fede Álvarez, will neither be a sequel nor a spin-off of the previous installments in the series about the deadly xenomorph. It’s a completely new story, set in the same world as Ridley Scott and James Cameron’s films.

As they uncover an unimaginable threat, they must make a terrifying attempt to escape.
