Watch Alien stars Sigourney Weaver and Veronica Cartwright reunite at NYCC 2025

Four decades after their landmark film changed horror forever, Alien stars Weaver (Ellen Ripley) and Cartwright (Joan Lambert) crashed New York Comic Con 2025 for an unmissable panel... that Popverse just happened to film

Features by Grant DeArmitt, Staff Writer

Published on Mon Dec 01 2025

Popverse has been all about the Alien franchise with this year's Alien: Earth on TV, and we haven't forgotten that it wouldn't exist without the 1979 movie that introduced the xenomorph to us all. So, when we heard that OG Alien stars Sigourney Weaver and Veronica Cartwright were going to be at New York Comic Con 2025, we just had to appear and show our appreciation as fans.

But because we also know that we're a source fans count on, we packed a camera for the journey.

This is one of the numerous panels from New York Comic Con 2025 that Popverse filmed. Consult our New York Comic Con 2025 panel video guide for a list of all of the panels we filmed, and when we'll be releasing them.

Set a course for the great unknown
