The Alien vs. Predator franchise has been a fan-favorite for years, combining two of the most iconic sci-fi creatures in cinematic history. After the release of Alien vs. Predator (2004) and its sequel Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007), fans have been eagerly waiting for a third installment. Recently, rumors and fan-made trailers have circulated online, fueling speculation about Alien vs. Predator 3: Retribution (2025). However, no official confirmation has been made by 20th Century Studios or Disney.
Some reports suggest that filmmaker Fede Álvarez, director of Alien: Romulus, has shown interest in co-directing a new Alien vs. Predator film alongside Prey director Dan Trachtenberg. This idea has excited fans, as both directors have proven their ability to create intense and thrilling sci-fi horror films. If Alien vs. Predator 3 were to happen, it could expand on the mythology of both creatures and explore new settings, possibly even returning to space for a more intense and large-scale battle.
Despite the excitement, many of the trailers found online, including those featuring actors like Will Smith and Jenna Ortega, are fan-made and not official. While these videos showcase how much people still love the franchise, they should not be mistaken for real movie announcements.
For now, fans can only hope that a new Alien vs. Predator film will be greenlit in the near future. With the success of recent Alien and Predator projects, there is still a chance that these two legendary creatures will clash once again on the big screen.
