It has been a significant seven years since the last release in the Xenomorph franchise. Alien: Covenant was not well-received, leading to a loss of faith in the universe by Hollywood. However, the franchise has not been abandoned completely. Alien: Romulus, directed by Fede Álvarez, marks a fresh start for the series.
Cailee Spaeny, known for her roles in Priscilla and Civil War, stars as Rain Carradine in the film. Rain and the rest of the spaceship’s crew must battle a mysterious predator to the death.
While the best way to experience the Xenomorph battle is in theaters, if you’re wondering about the film’s availability on streaming services, VOD, and DVD, continue reading our guide.
