Speaking with Empire, Álvarez confirmed that he and Sayagues are working on the script for the Alien: Romulus sequel. He said, “We’re excited about where it can go. We’ve almost checked all of the boxes of things that I want to see [in Romulus], and brought back a lot of the things I hadn’t seen in a while. Wherever we go now, we can go into uncharted waters. I think it’ll be so exciting to go with characters you know from this movie, to a place in the Alien franchise that we’ve never been before, and to discover things that you’ve never seen before.”

So he's got the Easter Egg references out of his system then hopefully? Come on, a decent Alien film please! 🙂

Alien franchise that we’ve never been before, and to discover things that you’ve never seen before.

this just smacks of writing a film by devising a bunch of action sequences and reveals then smushing it together hoping that the big shinny sequences distract from the plot and characters being wafer thin cardboard cutouts like last time.

Its terrible writing to work like this, cobbling together a script around predefined points. Its typical of film writing by committee where everybody on the committee has to add in their idea they came up with independent of the script to demonstrate their value.
