Production

After the acquisition of 21st Century Fox by the Walt Disney Company, it was officially confirmed at the 2019 CinemaCon that future Alien films are in development.[1] In March 2022, it was announced that Fede Álvarez would be writing and directing the film after pitching his own story, and was said to be "unconnected" to the previous films in the franchise, with the project now being set to release on Hulu in the United States.[2] By November, Cailee Spaeny had entered negotiations to star.[3] In March 2023, Isabela Merced was cast in an undisclosed role, set to co-star opposite Spaeny.[4] Later that month, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Spike Fearn, and Aileen Wu joined the cast in undisclosed roles.[5]

Filming

Principal photography commenced on March 9, 2023, in Budapest and is scheduled to wrap in mid-June.[6][7][8]
