Ahead of the Alien franchise's triumphant return to the big screen this fall with the Ridley Scott-produced Alien: Romulus, 20th Century Studios is bringing the horror to Hall H, with an out of this world panel exclusive to San Diego Comic Con 2024.

But if you can't make it (or are just scared to come out of your cryochamber, which we respect), Popverse has you covered. We're liveblogging the panel right here; follow along to hear from the films creative leads - Fede Álvarez, Cailee Spaeny, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Isabela Merced, Spike Fearn, and Aileen Wu - as they share insight into the franchise, behind the scenes stories of making the movie, and hopefully a teaser or two with the very excited fans in Hall H.
