Two of the year’s biggest sci-fi hits Alien: Romulus and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes are getting sequels

Alien: Romulus and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes have been greenlit for sequels at Fox.

“We’re working on a sequel idea now. We haven’t quite closed our deal with Fede [Alvarez], but we are going to, and he has an idea that we’re working on,” Fox president Steve Asbell told The Hollywood Reporter. “The two survivors, Rain and Andy, played by Cailee Spaeny and David Jonsson, were real highlights of the film. And so I always think of it like, ‘Wow, where do people want to see them go next?’ We know there’s going to be aliens. We know there’s going to be great horror set pieces. But I fell in love with both of them and I want to see what their story is.”
