It’s hard to believe that it’s almost two years since Fede Álvarez brought a whole new wave of terror to cinemas with Alien: Romulus. But in April 2026, 20th Century Studios is bringing the film back to home video for a brand new Steelbook Edition with artwork by renowned British poster artist Matt Ferguson.
Álvarez takes the phenomenally successful Alien franchise back to its iconic roots in the next jaw-dropping instalment heralded by critics as an “awe-inspiring sci-fi chiller” (Nicholas Barber, BBC Culture) and an “intense, stressful delight” (John Nugent, Empire). Alien: Romulus is Certified-Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes™ and has thrilled audiences at the box office, becoming the second highest grossing film in the Alien franchise globally.
Alien: Romulus is the start of a new chapter with a brand-new story unlike any other Alien movie that came before it, featuring all-new creatures and characters that are “tense enough to grab you by the throat” (Owen Gleiberman, Variety).
In our four-star review of the film Neil said “Alien: Romulus fires out of the gate as on of 2024’s most ambitious and terrifying movies. Director Fede Álvarez finds a satisfying balance of new and old to satisfy franchise fans whilst capturing a whole new audience. Bolstered by a captivating lead in Cailee Spaeny, the film is undoubtedly an enthralling, visceral experience which is truly a standalone chapter in the long-running story.”
The film is also available on 4K Ultra HD™, Blu-ray™ and DVD, and has exclusive bonus features, including featurettes with filmmakers Fede Alvarez and Ridley Scott, behind the scenes content, and alternate and extended scenes.
