Director Fede Alvarez, who has earned the endorsement of Ridley Scott and James Cameron, the directors who elevated the original franchise to iconic status, has released the full trailer of the upcoming film.

Initially planned for an exclusive streaming release on Hulu, the excitement surrounding the August theatrical release has grown, prompting the studio to reconsider their approach due to the film's potential.

Alvarez, known for his 2013 reimagining of the franchise and his 2016 masterclass, is at the helm of the eighth entry in the Aliens franchise.
