Alien: Romulus is a 2024 sci-fi horror interquel set between the first two Alien films. A group of young space colonizers scavenges a derelict station and faces xenomorphs while trying to escape corporate-controlled mining life. The story centers on survival, corporate exploitation, and body horror, including a pregnancy subplot that continues franchise-typical gynaehorror elements. Diverse casting of the young protagonists has drawn some audience-visible DEI complaints.
