Fede Álvarez Reveals His Vision for Alien vs. Predator Film

Alien: Romulus director Fede Álvarez has shared his thoughts on a potential Alien vs. Predator movie following the success of Alien: Romulus. With a sequel now practically confirmed, Álvarez expressed interest in creating a crossover that surprises audiences by hiding the presence of either franchise until a pivotal moment. He believes the ideal scenario would involve viewers initially perceiving the film as either an Alien or Predator story, only to later be introduced to the other franchise’s iconic creature. While he acknowledges the challenges of keeping such a reveal secret in the modern age, especially with marketing transparency, he remains optimistic about the crossover's potential. Steve Asbell of 20th Century Studios also hinted at an interest in a new AvP film, following the resurgence of both franchises.

A new Alien vs. Predator movie could surprise audiences by disguising its true nature, presenting itself initially as a standalone Alien or Predator film before introducing the crossover element. This approach could create suspense and excitement, allowing for unexpected twists that keep viewers captivated.

The Alien franchise, known for its suspenseful and atmospheric horror, continues to thrive with its latest installment, Alien: Romulus, marking a successful return to form after previous mixed receptions. The franchise's rich lore and iconic creatures, including the Xenomorphs and Predators, have led to numerous films and adaptations. A well-executed crossover could revive interest, appealing to both original fans and new audiences who are drawn to action-packed sci-fi narratives.
