I Feel Better About Alien: Romulus Bringing Back That Original Alien Actor Now

Ian Holm in Alien Romulus

Summary I was initially concerned about Alien: Romulus bringing back the original actor from Alien, but after new details have emerged, I feel better about it now. Despite Alien: Romulus focusing on an entirely new cast of main characters, the film does take place in between Alien and Aliens, meaning that I knew that there was potential for actors from the previous movies to return.

It always felt a bit strange that Ian Holm only played one synthetic while the other actors played multiple. After all, Holm was around to return in every Alien movie before Alien: Romulus, with him having passed away in 2020. It would have been better if any one of the many Alien sequels asked Ian Holm to return while he was still alive, rather than the franchise waiting until after his death.

Talking with Ridley, both of us came up with this idea that what if it has the likeness of Ian Holm — which is different from being Ian Holm or even being Ash. We would’ve never dared to reproduce that because you cannot reproduce with any technology, the talent of an actor. You can never capture the nuance of someone’s performance and their choices. So we designed a different character, but it shares the same likeness.
