Who might return for a potential Alien: Romulus sequel?

After the success of Alien: Romulusa sequel is already being discussed. However, given that this is a Foreigner film, it is not surprising that few members of the Alien: Romulus the cast was left alive to return for a second performance. The end of Alien: Romulus saw Rain as the only human survivor of the confrontation with the Xenomorphs and his android protector Andy left severely damaged. However, Rain makes a promise that he will find a way to fix Andy as they prepare for their long journey to Yvaga III.

In fact, Cailee Spaeny and David Jonsson are expected to return for the next Foreigner filmbut it is unlikely on the other Alien: Romulus characters will join them. The direction the sequel takes will be interesting, as Rain and Andy could be surprised on their journey to Yvaga III, perhaps captured by the vengeful Weyland-Yutani corporation. It’s also possible that the sequel offers the grim revelation that the seemingly idyllic Yvaga III is also owned by Weyland-Yutani.

Whatever direction the sequel takes, Rain and Andy have proven themselves to be complex and interesting characters in Alien: Romulus and more than capable of continuing the franchise from here.
