Alien Romulus 2 Trailer: Is There One Yet?

No official Alien Romulus 2 trailer exists, because the sequel to Alien: Romulus (2024) has no start of filming and no release date. Searches in the US and UK return trailers for the 2024 film itself, while some Australian results show uploads titled "Alien: Romulus 2 first trailer" on YouTube and Dailymotion that no studio source backs up. Until 20th Century Studios publishes footage on its own channel, treat those uploads the way you would treat a menu pinned outside a restaurant that has not been built yet: it may look convincing, but there is nothing behind it.

There is no trailer because the sequel has no director and no production start. Fede Álvarez, who directed Alien: Romulus, said in September 2025 that he would not direct the follow up. According to TheWrap, he wrote the script with Rodo Sayagues and will produce alongside Ridley Scott while the studio looks for a new director, and the reporting names no replacement. In August 2026, 20th Century Studios president Steve Asbell answered "Nope" on X to a report that the sequel had been shelved, as covered by Yahoo. That reply is not a greenlight, and no filming start or release date has been set. For the current status, see alien romulus 2.

The shelving report itself is denied, so it should not be repeated as fact. It claimed that creative differences between Scott and Álvarez, reportedly over using the David character played by Michael Fassbender in a film by another director, had stopped the project. A separate claim that Álvarez wanted Fassbender back as David is unconfirmed. More recently, TheWrap reported on 23 October 2026 that 20th Century Studios has a new Alien film in early development, with Scott producing, Aaron Guzikowski writing, no director attached and no date. The report says it is reportedly tied to Prometheus and Alien: Covenant. Yahoo, meanwhile, reported that Brian Duffield is writing a separate Alien film, so the writer line is not settled. TheWrap's 23 October 2026 report does not name a sequel titled Alien: Covenant 2.

Seven films make up the Alien story before any sequel footage could appear, and each one has its own page.

• Alien (1979), directed by Ridley Scott: the Nostromo crew is woken early to investigate a signal from a nearby moon.
• Aliens (1986), directed by James Cameron: Ripley returns to LV-426 with a team of Colonial Marines.
• Alien 3 (1992), directed by David Fincher: a facehugger gets aboard the Sulaco and Ripley's escape pod crashes on the foundry world Fiorina 161.
• Alien Resurrection (1997), directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet: scientists aboard the Auriga clone Ripley two hundred years after her death.
• Prometheus (2012), directed by Ridley Scott: Elizabeth Shaw and Charlie Holloway follow a star map to the moon LV-223.
• Alien: Covenant (2017), directed by Ridley Scott: the colony ship Covenant diverts to an unexpectedly habitable planet.
• Alien: Romulus (2024), directed by Fede Álvarez and starring Cailee Spaeny, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux and Isabela Merced: young miners board a derelict station for its cryosleep pods.

AVP: Alien vs. Predator (2004), directed by Paul W. S. Anderson, and Aliens vs Predator: Requiem (2007), directed by Colin and Greg Strause, are crossovers whose pages live in the Predator franchise. The wider story, including the 2025 series Alien: Earth, sits on the alien movies hub and the alien timeline.

According to JustWatch data on TMDB, checked on 3 November 2026, Alien: Romulus streams on Hulu in the US and on Disney Plus in the UK and Australia, while Alien (1979) streams on Netflix in the US. The full country breakdown is on where to watch alien. If you are new to the series, start with alien movies in order and save the Romulus trailer for after you have met the Xenomorph in the 1979 original.
