‘Alien: Romulus’: New Cover Sees Cailee Spaeny, Xenomorph Faces Off!! Check It Out!!

We are just over a month away from Fede Álvarez’s take on the fan-favorite extraterrestrial franchise with Alien: Romulus. The movie set between Ridley Scott’s classic, Alien, and James Cameron’s sequel Aliens has all eyes on it and a lot of expectations. The previously released trailer and posters give us a taste of the horrors in store for the fans and now there’s a new look at Cailee Spaeny, which further fuels the hype.

The new image gracing the cover of the French magazine Cinema Teaser (via Bloody Disgusting), sees Spaney coming face to face with a terrifying xenomorph. The image reiterates the tone of the movie with all the silent horror and expected gore. It also fits the R-rating of the feature which landed its mature score for “bloody content and language.”

What To Expect from ‘Alien: Romulus’?

Alien: Romulus follows Rain, a young woman looking for a change in life that leads her to work on board a spacecraft. However, things take a harrowing turn when Rain and the crew chance upon an abandoned space station and find themselves facing off against an apex predator they never knew existed. Much like Álvarez’s previous works, the upcoming film promises a haunting ride for the fans looking for body horror and gore.

Speaking to Collider actor Isabela Merced elaborated on the movie’s tone, divulging:

“So, I would say it’s very claustrophobic, it’s very dark, and it’s very authentic to the first one. A lot of respect is paid and due to the original. You’re in for a familiar feeling of loyalty and care for this crew of people. On the upside, we do genuinely care for each other, and we’ve stayed in touch and we’re really important to each other.”

An extended preview of the movie was given to the audience at CinemaCon which promised stunning sequences, practical effects, and jaw-dropping moments in the film. With an array of talents on and off-screen, Alien: Romulus should be an excellent entry into the beloved franchise. The movie casts Spaeny as Rain Carradine, David Jonsson as Andy, Archie Renaux as Tyler, Merced as Kay, Spike Fearn as Bjorn, and Aileen Wu as Navarro. Álvarez directs from a script he co-wrote with Rodo Sayagues, who previously collaborated with the director on features like Evil Dead and Don’t Breathe.
