Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Fede Álvarez's Alien: Romulus is returning to a crucial point in the Alien timeline with its story, and in so doing looks set to answer a major unsolved mystery from the original 1979 film. Part of the power of the Alien saga comes from its mysterious and often unexplained story details.
...despite the mist's seemingly crucial role in the alien lifecycle, it has not been seen again in the franchise – until the Alien: Romulus trailer. All these details, coupled with the absence of a queen in the original Alien movie, make the blue mist a crucial and underexplored aspect of franchise lore. Its presence suggests that, unlike the organic lifecycle seen in Aliens, the original xenomorph eggs were there artificially and deliberately, creating further questions about the whole franchise's origin.
There are dozens of other Alien details that are also unexplained. Even with the attempted background provided by Prometheus and Alien: Covenant, it's still unclear how the original eggs got onboard the Engineer ship, nor exactly how Weyland-Yutani knew where to send the Nostromo crew.
