The first scenes of the long-awaited sequel ‘Alien: Romulus’the new film in the iconic franchise, were revealed during the CinemaCon 2024.
And CinePOP was present at the panel, which showed almost ten minutes of the film. And believe me: It will be very terrifying.
The new material begins with a scene in which the character of Archie Renaux and a synthetic are trapped in a room with a series of xenomorph facehuggers while the character of Cailee SpaenyRain Carradine, watches what happens, helplessly.
Facehuggers have never been more threatening, as they were created with practical effects. An intense action scene was shown that shows facebuggers sticking to the faces of several characters, killing some. It’s disgusting.
Although they escape, the facehuggers run down the ship’s corridor.
Another clip shows a chestburster emerging from Aileen Wu and DESTROYING HER CHEST while she and Isabella Merced they’re in a small ship that crashes into a fuel cell – until Wu struggles and accidentally kicks the controls.

Don’t forget to watch:
Although the new iteration is an independent story, the filmmaker assured that he will not disregard the previous films and promised that fans of the saga will be satisfied with the references in the production.
“This film can be seen without having watched the other features in the franchise. But, if you are a fan of the saga, you won’t be able to stay silent in the theaters. You’ll be that person saying, ‘That scene is an homage to that movie, and that character said that for that reason.’ You will be able to point out several things that connect the new film with the previous chapters, be it the narrative, technology or the characters themselves.”
He completes, “We really try hard to keep everything legit and not contradict anything [em relação aos filmes anteriores]. This franchise is very special to me, and I know how incredible it is to see these references to something I love. This film was created for fans of this saga. My goal was to deliver what fans really wanted to watch [nas telonas].”
The film will be released in national cinemas on August 15th.
