Alien: Romulus has now burst into theaters as director Fede Alvarez’s new entry in the beloved franchise hits the big screen. Set on a derelict space station, the new sci-fi horror follows a group of young space colonists as they head on a mission. But when they start scavenging, they soon realize there’s more than meets the eye at the station when they come into contact with the most terrifying life form in the universe.
Starring Cailee Spaeny, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Isabela Merced, and Spike Fearn, Alien: Romulus is technically the seventh movie in the Alien franchise. However, it's not quite as simple as that suggests. Instead of being a straight sequel or a standalone movie, the film actually slots between some of the most iconic entries in the saga.
