Some , such as the arrival of the Queen inAliens , have enhanced the mythology around the saga ’s central monster , whereas others have flow flat . However , whileCovenantandPrometheusboth made controversial changes to the story , Álvarez has argue that they wo n’t be ignored in his motion-picture show .

Alien: Romulus WILL Have Connections To Ridley Scott’s Prequels

" I love all of those picture show . I did n’t want to omit or ignore any of them when it come to connecter at a story storey , character point , applied science level and animal degree . There ’s always connections fromAlientoAlien : Covenant . "
Alien: Romulus Is Still A Largely Standalone Story
Álvarez ’s explicit cite of " connections " is even more surprising because of the movie ’s previous characterization as a " standalone"Alienstory . Although one does not exclude the other , the earlier stochasticity around the moving picture seemed to suggest a conscious uncoupling fromAlien ’s recent past times . However , even though Álvarez himself has sustain that his pic will be deep mindful of its position in a wider franchise , the extent to which it will stick to to previous moving-picture show ' narrative is less clean-cut . Ultimately , this means thatRomuluscan nod to otherAlienmovies , without incorporate their stories .
TheAlien : Romulustrailerhas already suggested that the film ’s " connections " toCovenantandPrometheusmay be more metaphorical than literal . It ’s clear , for instance , that the film ’s artistic is much closer to the intent ofAlienandAliensthan it is to the prequels , make for back the retro - time to come technical school that defined the franchise ’s first entries . to boot , there are no returning fictitious character – either from the prequels or previousAlienmovies , demonstrating thatAlien : Romulusis a reliable standalone ledger entry .

Alien: Romulus' Prequel Connections Mean Another Ridley Scott Movie Is Still Possible
While Álvarez ’s " link " acknowledgment does n’t necessarily intend a continuation of the prequels ' account , it does mean that the Koran is n’t completely close on Scott ’s return to the dealership at some distributor point . IfAlien : Romulusis as standalone as the drone and former promotional textile have propose , it ’s unlikely that it will introduce majorlore revisions that will retconPrometheus , Covenant , or any otherAlienmovie . It ’s much more likely thatRomulusfocuses on telling a compelling , ego - comprise chronicle , without bogging itself down in complicated franchise - construction .
IfRomulusdoesn’t refer itself with the aliens ' origins and humanity ’s lookup for their creators , there is still a potential chance for Scott to discharge his story . While there are plenty of other obstacle , such as audience interest andCovenant ’s underwhelming box seat federal agency operation , the room access will nonetheless be open for either Scott or another film maker to hark back to the Covenant , David , and Daniels . As a upshot , foreigner : Covenantlargely ignoring Ridley Scott ’s prequels could do good both story arcs .
