In 2024 Director Fede Alvarez went back to basics for a new generation of viewers with his installment in the Alien film franchise, Alien: Romulus, pitting a ragtag group of young colonists against one of the most deadliest life forms in the universe. Hoping to improve their chances to escape their mining colony lives and indentured work contracts for mega corporation Weyland-Yutani, a young orphaned colonist, her malfunctioning android and friends attempt to scavenge a derelict space station which unbeknownsts to them has recovered a large cocoon from the wreckage of the USCSS Nostromo. Soon they are facing the terrifying acid-for-blood, razor-toothed, multi-jawed, whip-tailed, armoured killing machines in space (where no one can hear you scream).
Life-size Xenomorph model from Alien: Romulus
This towering life-size Special Effects model from Alien: Romulus was captured on display as part of The Horror Show exhibition at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles on October 4, 2026.
Visual effects company Legacy Effects was responsible for the creation of this Xenomorph creature which really does look impressively extraterrestrial and otherworldly, and not just a man in a monster suit, with Shane Mahan, Lindsay Macgowan, J. Alan Scott, Darnell Isom, Scott Patton, Rob Ramsdell and Christopher Swift responsible for its design and fabrication.
Fans of this new installment in the Alien film franchise can also enjoy these screen-used costumes and props from Alien: Romulus on display at Hollywood's El Capitan Theatre during the movies' theatrical release.
Make sure you also check out a screen-worn Xenomorph costume from James Cameron's Aliens previously on display at Disney's Hollywood Studios theme park in Orlando, Florida.
