A new video for Alien: Romulus has potentially revealed a Big Xenomorph surprise in the upcoming horror sequel. Around the trailer’s 0:22 mark, there’s a moment where multiple Xenomorphs crawl off the title, which indicates that there are several creatures that the space colonist crew will have to deal with.
According to the movie’s summary, a group of space expeditionists face what is labeled as “the most terrifying life form in the universe” while scavenging through a secluded space station. The film is set between the events of 1979’s Alien, directed by Ridley Scott, and 1986’s Aliens, directed by James Cameron. Fede Álvarez is returning to the Alien installment as a director for the fourth time.
Alien: Romulus will star Cailee Spaeny, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Isabela Merced, Spike Fearn, and Aileen Wu. The film is produced by Alien and Prometheus director/creator Ridley Scott, Michael Pruss, and Walter Hill. It’ll hit theaters on August 16.
