Alien: Romulus has understandably become one of this summer's most highly anticipated movies. Based on what we've seen thus far, all signs point to it following in the footsteps of Prey (Hulu's 2022 Predator reboot) as a return to form for the franchise.

Tickets went on sale this past Thursday and Total Film (via SFFGazette.com) just unleashed two new covers for its next issue.

The Xenomorph looms large on both and, after years of being portrayed as cannon fodder, it looks like filmmaker Fede Alvarez plans to use them to strike fear into our hearts all over again.

"I think we all have our favorite creatures in these movies," the filmmaker recently said. "Facehuggers have always been the ones that scare me the most. The idea of what would happen if the Facehugger gets you, you'll wish for the Xenomorph. You'll wish for a quick death instead of what happens to you if you get caught by one of them."

"Conceptually, that's just so terrifying. And though in a way, there's a lot of things that happened here that although they're familiar, they never really technically ever happened again since the first movie, or they hint in the others of some version of it," Alvarez added. "But here we went very purist in a lot of these things."

Check out Alien: Romulus' Xenomorphs on both magazine covers below.

The first Alien: Romulus Funko Pops have also been revealed, confirming the movie will feature a scarred or battle-damaged alien dubbed the "Scorched Xenomorph."

The sci-fi/horror-thriller takes the phenomenally successful Alien franchise back to its roots: While scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station, a group of young space colonizers come face to face with the most terrifying life form in the universe.

The film stars Cailee Spaeny (Priscilla), David Jonsson (Agatha Christie’s Murder is Easy), Archie Renaux (Shadow and Bone), Isabela Merced (The Last of Us), Spike Fearn (Aftersun), Aileen Wu. Fede Alvarez (Evil Dead) directs from a screenplay he wrote with frequent collaborator Rodo Sayagues (Don’t Breathe 2) based on characters created by Dan O’Bannon and Ronald Shusett.

Alien: Romulus is produced by Ridley Scott (Napoleon), who directed the original Alien and produced and directed the series’ entries Prometheus and Alien: Covenant, Michael Pruss (Boston Strangler), and Walter Hill (Alien), with Fede Alvarez, Elizabeth Cantillon (Charlie’s Angels), Brent O’Connor (Bullet Train), and Tom Moran (Unstoppable) serving as executive producers. 

The movie is set to arrive in theaters on August 16.

Genuinely excited for this. But correct me if I'm wrong. Wasn't Alien Romulus originally billed as a series for Hulu? I know it turned into a full fledged movie but I was under the perception that it was supposed to be a series instead. I could be wrong?

@SonOfAGif
You're confusing it with the Noah Hawley's tv series.

@Doomsday8888 - You're absolutely right. I knew there was a TV series in the works.

Im so tired of this franchise just doing the same thing over and over. How many Ripley copy cats do we have already? 3 or 4 now?
Take Alien to a futuristic city, make it more like a zombie invasion movie or quiet place or something. Alien war action movie or something...do some new shitt please.
How many more ships we going to see get invaded and watch like 4-5 people get killed.

@EnergyVamp - I def respect Prometheus for trying to do something new even though the execution was mediocre. The ideas and original script was interesting at least.

@EnergyVamp - I thought Prometheus was a near-masterpiece, with all the obvious and ridiculous flaws. Of the entire Alien family of films, Prometheus I can watch over and over.

@GeneralZod - I really enjoy prometheus. Just wish alien covenant would've followed through on all the setup. Instead it kind of disregarded it all for a generic Alien movie. Still cool though

@amesjazz - Covenant failed before it even premiered. Shaw was an amazing character (be the equally amazing Noomi Rapace). David is evil, but his evil had limits. It was so out of character for David to kill -- of all people -- Shaw. Anyway, I think that turned off audiences, and Shaw's replacement (Daniels) was so bland.

Finally we're going back to the original explanation about the Alien life cycle. In the 1977 film the xenomorph is able to produce eggs on its own by converting dead human into cocoons to incubate Facehuggers. That was BEFORE James Camerons' ALIENS which introduced the Queen.
