Alien: Romulus is set to start a new era of the long-standing sci-fi horror franchise. The new film is helmed by Fede Álvarez, and the vibe at its San Diego Comic-Con panel could only be described as one thing: a return to form. The panel kicked off with an entire scene from the upcoming film, showing the central team as they examine an abandoned ship. What transpired was every reassurance fans needed that the franchise is in safe hands — Alien: Romulus may be the grand reset Alien needs.
