Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Fede Álvarez's Alien: Romulus is returning to a seminal point in the Alien timeline – giving many fans hope that the series will finally be revived – but while the movie's wider context is important, there are signs that it will also connect to old franchise tropes in more subtle ways. After years in the wilderness, Alien: Romulus is bringing Alien back to its roots.
At around one minute into the trailer, one of Alien: Romulus' young cast is seen frantically splashing about in a dingy flooded room. As his compatriot tentatively asks him "what's happening?" the man responds that "there is something in the water". As he becomes increasingly agitated, a facehugger suddenly leaps out of the murky depths, trying to attach itself to his face and impregnate him with a chestburster.
The fact that Alien: Romulus is bringing back this method of attack not only shows a willingness to be inventive when it comes to scaring the audience, but also an awareness of what's come before in the franchise. Every Alien Movie Features Water To Some Extent It's A Key Symbol Throughout The Franchise It looks like Alien: Romulus will join Aliens and Alien: Resurrection as the only Alien movies to feature a direct xenomorph attack from water. However, while this detail marks these installments out, it's important to acknowledge that water has actually played a vital symbolic role throughout the franchise.
