Alien: Romulus Cast Share the Art of Dying and What It's Like to Join an Iconic Franchise

“All other priorities are rescinded.“ Alien: Romulus is invading theaters soon, and to celebrate director Fede Álvarez's entry into the Alien franchise, the cast hit Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con this year. While there, Collider's Steve Weintraub had the pleasure of sitting down with the doomed crew of this direct sequel to find out what it's like to meet your untimely end at the hands of a Xenomorph. “You want to die well,“ star Cailee Spaeny (Priscilla) tells us as her castmates, David Jonsson (Industry), Isabela Merced (Madame Web), Archie Renaux (Shadow and Bone), and Spike Fearn (Aftersun), regale us with the horrors from set. This is the group of space colonizers who make a fateful decision to scavenge an abandoned ship—Rain (Spaeny), Andy (Jonsson), Kay (Merced), Tyler (Renaux), Bjorn (Fearn), and Navarro, played by Aileen Wu in their feature debut. While searching for a way out of their situation, they stumble across a hive of one of the deadliest known life forms and must fight to survive. Check out the full conversation in the video above or the transcript below, where the cast discusses cementing their place in iconic cinema history and what it's like to die by Xenomorphs and Facehuggers. They also talk about practical effects on set, why filming in chronological order was both a blessing and a curse, the score and stunning cinematography, and being at Comic-Con. #Alienromulus #IsabelaMerced #CaileeSpaeny For interviews, movie reviews, and more visit FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL
