'The story follows a group of young people on a distant world who find themselves in a confrontation with the most terrifying life form in the universe.'

It stars Cailee Spaeny, Isabella Merced, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Spike Fearn and Aileen Wu.

Spaeny previously revealed that Romulus takes place between the events of Alien and Aliens.

"It’s supposed to slot in between the first movie and the second movie," she told Variety.

"They brought the same team from Aliens, the James Cameron film. The same people who built those xenomorphs actually came on and built ours. So getting to see the original design with the original people who have been working on these films for 45-plus years and has been so much of their life has been really incredible."

Fans have now speculated that Romulus could act as a prequel to Aliens and might feature Hadley's Hope research colony.

The movie is directed by Fede Alvarez of Evil Dead and Don't Breathe fame.
