Director Fede Álvarez has shared a brief look at the new Alien movie to celebrate Alien Day, giving fans a look at the iconic facehugger.
The new image comes courtesy of Álvarez’s Twitter and sees the Xenomorph’s facehugger stage wrapping itself around a slate, which celebrates Alien Day, which occurred on April 26, 2023. The new image also gives fans their first real look at whatever space station the new movie is set on, with signs for an airlock and reception visible in the background.

Outside of this image, much of the new Alien movie is shrouded in much mystery. Isabela Merced is set to star in the film, but other than that, almost nothing is known. The director is best known for directing Don’t Breathe and 2013’s Evil Dead — both of which received positive critical reception upon release. Other than that, and the fact that the iconic Xenomorphs will once again appear in the film, not too much is known.
It is said to be “unconnected” to previous films. A fan of the iconic franchise himself, Álvarez had pitched a film idea to Scott several years ago in a casual conversation. This eventually led to Scott calling Álvarez last year to see if he was still interested, and it was quickly set.
20th Century then picked up the new Alien movie due to the strength of Álvarez’s pitch, as it was a “really good story with a bunch of characters you haven’t seen before,” according to 20th Century’s Steve Asbell.
