Now, following the success of his latest film, Alien: Romulus , director Fede Alvarez is floating the possibility of reigniting the crossover saga with a new Alien vs. Predator movie.
Alien vs. Predator The concept of Alien vs. Predator first gained traction with a subtle Easter egg in Predator 2 , where a Xenomorph skull appeared, sparking a series of crossover comics, novels, and video games.
It took until 2004 for the rivalry to make its big-screen debut, leading to a financially successful film adaptation. Despite its box office draw, the film and its 2007 sequel, Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem , were critically panned, with the latter also underperforming financially.
In a recent interview with Deadline , Alvarez expressed his openness to revisiting this cinematic confrontation, suggesting, “Maybe it’s something I have to co-direct with my buddy Dan [Tratchenberg]. Maybe we should do like Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez did with From Dusk Till Dawn. I’ll direct a half, and he’ll direct another half.
” His buddy, Dan Tratchenberg, directed the 2022 Predator prequel Prey and is currently involved in another standalone project in the franchise. Prey This renewed interest in merging the Alien and Predator universes comes as Alien: Romulus enjoys a robust US$41.5 .
