When will Alien: Romulus be released on Disney+?

As a seasoned gamer and movie enthusiast who has braved countless alien invasions in video games, I must say that my anticipation for Alien: Romulus is off the charts! With its intriguing premise set between the original Alien and Aliens, and a stellar cast including some familiar faces from beloved franchises, this film promises to deliver an adrenaline-pumping experience that I’m eagerly awaiting.

The film titled “Alien: Romulus” will soon return terrifying xenomorphs to our screens, aiming to unseat “Deadpool” and “Wolverine” in the box office race.

Given that the studio producing this upcoming Alien movie, 20th Century Studios, is part of the Disney family, it’s expected that the film will become available for streaming on Disney+ eventually. Here’s what we currently know about when you can enjoy the movie from the comfort of your home.

Between “Alien” and “Aliens,” the movie “Alien: Resurrection” encounters a band of young interstellar settlers who encounter the lethal extraterrestrial organism. (In this context, “Resurrection” is used to represent “Romulus”)

The film is headed by Fede Alvarez in the director’s chair, featuring Cailee Spaeny from “Civil War,” Archie Renaux known for “Shadow and Bone,” Isabela Merced famous for “The Last of Us,” and David Jonsson, star of “Rye Lane.”

Alien: Romulus is not available to watch on streaming yet.

Given that it’s a film produced by 20th Century Studios, it’s likely that it will become available for streaming on Disney+ within about three months following its theatrical debut.

In contrast to the Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, it found its way onto Disney+ on August 9, having been screened in cinemas three months prior and digitally released a month earlier.
