In 1979, filmmaker Ridley Scott revolutionized the sci-fi genre with Alien, introducing a new type of heroine, Ellen Ripley, played by Sigourney Weaver. The film became a franchise, garnering an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects. Over the years, the series expanded to seven titles, with notable directors like James Cameron and David Fincher contributing. However, the franchise faced a downturn in creativity until Fede Álvarez’s Alien: Romulus debuted in 2024, featuring new characters and achieving $350.9 million at the box office. Following its success, plans for a sequel and a second season of the FX series Alien: Earth are underway.
