To be fair, Ripley ALWAYS thought she had defeated the Alien but was ALWAYS disappointed to learn she merely delayed the inevitable. This remains ture to form hahaha
Scoop / Spoiler:
The name ROMULUS is the name of the Weyland-Yutani research station in the movie. The station is said to have been abandoned for some time by the time the film takes place. The station will be investigated by a crew of six scavengers, of which Rain (played by Cailee Spaeny) is the lead. Andy (David Jonsson) is Rain’s android brother. The Romulus station is described as circular / funnel shaped and was once a bustling research facility before something happened, leaving it abandoned for years.
Alien: Romulus will introduce new forms of, more ferocious Xenomorphs / Chestbursters and Facehuggers. This coincides with our previous report where it was acknowledged that the Facehuggers in Alien: Romulus have spiked barbs on their fingers - making the act of face-hugging way more graphic and gruesome.
The society Rain and Andy come from do not like Synthetic Androids vey much and there's more to this dynamic explored in the film's plot. Aesthetically speaking, the planet they come from is described as being "industrial grit". This will be a dramatic contrast to the more pristine aesthetic of Prometheus and Alien: Covenant's ships and environments.
Scoop / Spoiler: The original Xenomorph from Alien will be discovered by Weyland-Yutani and brought to the ROMULUS research station at the start of the film: Source [Confirmed]
Ripley be like after hearing this news
Wow indeed - very very exciting details imo!
so excited, so many news these days. I am glad Ash is somewhat related to this film
Cool. I think this is why Ridley was onboard with this movie...He knew they weren't going to throw out his work.
Cool! I can't wait to hear the soundtrack.
They didn't know Ripley's story until she started blabbing it all over the station....basically calling out the company for killing her crew mates.....it would have been obvious who killed her. Much easier to MIA her. Burkes backstory is unknown.......He could have been plotting a company coup or something. W-Y must have know how dangerous this mission was going to be....Why send such and important employee?
As far as I'm concerned, there are 2 entities; Synths and Weyland-Yutani. I'd say the Synthetic AI is always ahead.

First trailer for ‘ALIEN: ROMULUS’ is reportedly set to release this month. (Via: @DanielRPK)
We are ready.
Ummm I was under the impression that Burke was operating alone. Burke seemed more like a rogue operative, the Company just wanted to discredit Ripley, not kill her since they could have easily done that prior to reviving her at Gateway Station. So the test bed idea doesn't make sense.
Hadley's Hope did seem like a test bed. They sent the only witness (Ripley) and a 'green' company commander (Gorman)..It was bound to fail. If they wanted it to succeed...they'd have sent a massive fleet and taken everything alive.
Get Ripley killed and some company moron(Burke). Test out the 'product' and clear out the deadwood. Win-Win.
not to be that guy, but I have a feeling this is going to be a stand-alone story that might reference the first movie or not. Disney seems dead set not to bring up Ripley or her storyline, so I think the movie is going to on the other side of colonized space dealing with a bunch of new people.
I will have to say no, knowing Hollywood they'll probably reveal it sometime in the fall
We will have to wait and see
The images are not from the trailer or movie as far as I'm aware, I suspect those are just placeholders / fan art.
I'm getting System Shock vibes seeing it may take place on a saucer-shaped Space Station
I think Romulus will avoid much of what was established in Prometheus and Covenant. I more so believe it'll be connected to Alien: Isolation, so I suspect there will be links to that. However, I have a big suspicion that WY knew about the Xenomorph and the Derelict well before we think they did and the events of Alien, Isolation and Aliens are all connected and orchestrated with purpose behind the scenes by the corporation. Something much more sinister is at play, I bet.
The question is, does the film take place before or after the events of Alien: Isolation?
In Alien isolation, it was revealed that years after the events of Alien, the crew of Anesidora picked up the beacon, landed on LV-426 to investigate, found the derelict, and shut off the beacon to prevent anyone from finding the ship. The derelict remained untouched for some time until the events of Aliens when Ripley told the WY about it and Burke informed the colonists which led to the downfall.
I’ve seen some people already theorizing based on these “leaks” that the company might have gotten the Ovomorph eggs from either Covenant or Planet 4, if not from Derelict or anywhere else.
Very much so. I'm working on digging up more details, but it's true the links do connect somewhat to what we heard months ago.
From the sounds of it, the young group of scavengers are poverty stricken and planning to pillage a decommissioned Weyland-Yutani station that they caught wind of. So they embark on a mission hoping to strike it rich only to accidentally unleash the cargo that lay dormant.
Given that this film takes place between Alien and Aliens, I wonder if the station is pre-Hadley's Hope but ends up being the reason for the settlement on LV-426. Weyland-Yutani were already aware of the Derelict, sent the Nostromo in to investigate first, Alien happens, they set up an observation station nearby and set up a research outpost - under the guise of a Terraforming settlement on the planet.
Hmmmm the hamster wheel is turning again haha.
"Leaks" from months ago did say the film would start on a planet and then switch to a space station.
Just an hour ago, V Scooper added that the film has some surprises and a big premise in the franchise's lore. I wonder.
If these claims are true, I wonder what surprises the film has in store for us. The plot is giving me "Pandorum (2009)" and "Trench 11 (2017)" vibes.
Indeed you’re right, the Super/Royal Facehugger from Alien 3 did sport barbs but only on the first two appendages. It also featured webbed tissue between each of the fingers as well.
This appears to indicate the regular Facehuggers have barbs and on all fingers, not just the first two. It also doesn’t appear to have any webbing so I assume this isn’t a Super/Royal Facehugger - although if it is, that suggests we might see a Praetorian or Queen in the new movie…
Weren't the barbs on the Super Facehugger?
Revisiting these old topics brings back so much nostalgia.
As long as it's not woke pandering and has a coherent plot, I'll be happy.
it's going to be romantic comedy
Me too. I wonder how and where are the characters going to find Ovomorph eggs, will they find a Derelict ship, another biomechanical outpost, or something else?
I'm actually really looking forward to this movie.
i love how its based on Giger's version of the Space Jockey!
Grotesque and amazing! Thanks for sharing these updates!
Well I hope Romulus is a good movie, hopefully they don't interject real world politics into the setting because well... Disney
I'm okay with any PR stunt....Need to get some interviewers asking question to these actors. Generate 'some' content! We've had nothing.
If they overplay it: The majority are probably going to be disappointed....Reviewers have field days on overhyped movies. "The trailer Showed too MUCH!!","The trailer was better than the movie!!"
If they underplay it: Many won't put it on their summer watch list...or forget about it entirely.
Luckily, August look pretty tame for big releases. Romulus stands a good chance.
This sounds like a PR stunt
I sure hope Bob Iger used the wrong word because I see no reason to start a whole new continuity.
I wished ALIEN and PREDATOR were owned by Universal or Paramount
I hope this movie will be better than the in-name only TV series
