Summary
“Alien: Romulus” (2024) is a sci-fi horror film set within the iconic Alien franchise. Directed by Fede Álvarez, the movie introduces a new chapter in the series while staying true to the suspenseful and claustrophobic atmosphere that fans love. The story follows a group of young colonists who find themselves trapped on a remote and hostile planet. As they struggle to survive, they soon discover that they are not alone—an ancient and deadly threat is lurking in the shadows. The film focuses on themes of survival, fear, and the unknown, delivering intense and thrilling moments that keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
Cast
Cailee Spaeny as Rain, an orphaned miner

Isabela Merced as Kay, Tyler’s pregnant sister
Spike Fearn as Bjorn, Tyler and Kay’s cousin who is prejudiced against androids

Rook, an android science officer onboard the Romulus, is voiced by Daniel Betts, while his physical appearance bears the likeness of the late Ian Holm, who portrayed Ash in the original film. Trevor Newlin portrays the Xenomorph, while the human–Xenomorph hybrid (credited as the “Offspring”) is portrayed by former Romanian basketball player Robert Bobroczkyi.
