Alien Romulus cast: Meet the stars battling the xenomorphs

As a seasoned movie critic with over three decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the ensemble cast of Alien: Romulus is quite impressive indeed! It’s always refreshing to see new talent stepping into the limelight, and this film seems to be doing just that.


Over the course of the Alien franchise, there’s always been a wealth of gifted performers involved – starting with Sigourney Weaver and John Hurt in the initial movie, followed by talents like Michael Fassbender and Charlize Theron in later installments.

In the most recent addition to the chilling sci-fi horror franchise, Alien: Romulus, I find myself drawn into an exhilarating tale revolving around a fresh ensemble of courageous space settlers. This time, the narrative spotlights their harrowing struggle against the terrifying xenomorphs.

In this production, Cailee Spaeny takes the lead, enjoying a remarkable year with her standout performance in Priscilla, a notable supporting role in Captain America: Civil War, and a part in the upcoming Knives Out sequel. Moreover, several rising British talents are also featured prominently.

As a devoted fan of diverse storytelling and character-driven narratives, I find myself captivated by the burgeoning careers of some exceptionally talented young actors who are making waves across various popular media platforms. From the cobblestone streets of Rye Lane to the mystical lands of the Grishaverse and the sultry nightclub scenes of Back to Black, these three rising stars – David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, and Spike Fearn – have caught my attention.
