Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Fede Álvarez's Alien: Romulus promises to be an exciting and much-needed reset for the popular sci-fi horror franchise, yet the movie's fresh story risks continuing a disappointing franchise trend. Although Alien's monster is one of the great science fiction creations of all time, the series' true strength comes from its characters.
Alien: Covenant ended with both Daniels and David alive, as well as an active mystery around the fate of the Covenant's colonists. The parallels between Newt and Hicks' off-screen deaths in Alien 3's opening crash sequence and Shaw's murder by David are clear. Both sets of characters had been central in the previous film and both were seemingly primed for interesting future stories fighting the xenomorph menace. The consequences of all three deaths were also similar, with Alien 3 and Alien: Covenant forced to follow new characters rather than building on the relationships established in previous installments.
Alien: Romulus' New Characters Need To Have A Place In The Franchise's Future Alien Can't Keep Ignoring Its Previous Stories As a gruesome sci-fi horror movie, it's inevitable that some characters won't survive the events of Alien: Romulus. Already from the film's exciting teaser trailer, it's clear that the new cast faces multiple threats – from explosions in space to an onslaught of multiple facehuggers.
