ALIEN 5: ROMULUS (2024) teaser promises a gripping return to the dark, terrifying atmosphere that made the original Alien franchise so iconic. With the legendary Sigourney Weaver reprising her role as Ellen Ripley, fans are excited to see her back in action, confronting the fearsome Xenomorphs in a whole new chapter. Alongside her, Gary Dourdan, known for his intense roles, joins the cast as a mysterious character who plays a pivotal role in the survival of the team.
The teaser opens with a haunting silence, broken only by the flickering lights of an abandoned spacecraft drifting through deep space. Ripley’s voice narrates, speaking of nightmares that never end and battles that are never truly over. We are quickly introduced to Romulus, a desolate planet where a covert scientific mission has gone horribly wrong. The crew, led by Dourdan’s character, uncovers something far worse than just Xenomorphs—an ancient force on Romulus that may have connections to the origins of the species.
Tension builds as glimpses of claustrophobic corridors, eerie landscapes, and brutal action sequences flash across the screen. Ripley, scarred but resilient, takes charge once again, facing both new and old threats with determination. The teaser hints at a deeper storyline, possibly touching on Ripley’s genetic connection to the aliens, which was explored in Alien: Resurrection.
The final shot reveals a massive, towering Xenomorph unlike any we’ve seen before, with lightning striking in the background, leaving viewers with a chilling sense of dread. With the return of Ripley and new elements woven into the Alien mythology, ALIEN 5: ROMULUS looks set to deliver both nostalgia and fresh terror for a new generation.
