Alien: Romulus‘ age rating is now official, and it continues a 45-year franchise trend. Directed by Fede Álvarez, the upcoming installment in the Alien franchise follows a young crew aboard a derelict space station as they face off against a deadly Xenomorph threat. Trailers for Alien: Romulus have already teased a bloody and horror-oriented take on the hit movie series, which began back in 1979 with Ridley Scott’s seminal original movie.

Now, FilmRatings.com reveals that Alien: Romulus is rated R for “bloody violent content and language.” This R rating continues a trend for the franchise that began in 1979, with all six previous movies have also been rated R for similar reasons.
