Alien: Romulus director Fede Alvarez has revealed that the last scene of the film was originally ‘completely different’.

The Original Ending

Alvarez explained that the initial ending was much more intense and involved a lot of action, but it didn’t quite fit with the rest of the film.

‘The original ending was completely different. It was much more intense, much more action-oriented,’ Alvarez told Entertainment Weekly.

The Final Version

The final version of the ending, which features a more subtle and suspenseful approach, was chosen to better align with the tone of the rest of the film.

‘We decided to go for something a bit more subtle, a bit more suspenseful, something that would leave the audience with a lot of questions,’ Alvarez said.

Leaving Room for Interpretation

Alvarez believes that leaving room for interpretation in the ending adds to the film’s appeal and encourages viewers to engage more deeply with the story.

‘I think that’s one of the things that makes Alien so great. It leaves you with a lot of questions,’ Alvarez said.

Future Sequels

Alvarez also discussed the possibility of future sequels, stating that he would be open to returning to the franchise if there’s a compelling story to tell.

‘If there’s a story that we can tell that feels as strong as the first one, then I would definitely be open to doing another one,’ Alvarez said.
