According to World of Reel, 20th Century has reportedly shelved the upcoming sequel to Alien: Romulus indefinitely, and there is a chance it may not ever be made. According to the report, Romulus director Fede Álvarez (who left the project unexpectedly during pre-production) had hoped to bring back Michael Fassbender’s David, who played big roles in 2012’s Prometheus and 2017’s Alien: Covenant. Fassbender had even come close to signing after a script was completed.
