Over the weekend we started to see reports regarding details of Alien: Romulus via V Scooper on Twitter, apparently from a test screening of the film, along with AI generated imagery. However, many of those details were already known due to audition tapes that were uploaded to the internet back in February 2023. Beware spoilers.
‘ALIEN ROMULUS’ will show us up close a new planet with a gritty civilization As well as the abandoned space station filled with face huggers and the perfect organism lurking around… Lots of suspense, gore, as well as action with tech and guns await.
Emphasis on *filled* the face huggers plays an important role on this movie
A group of scavengers depart their home planet for an abandoned spaceship, aiming to steal equipment. Unleashing baby Xenos [facehuggers] and the fearsome Xenomorph in a gory battle More chest rips and stunning visuals, staying true to the franchise’s essence with some twists.
The Yutani space station contains several cryo-chambers of Xenomorphs. What purpose do they serve there?… Many secrets and twists are about to be uncovered.
![[Spoilers] Alien: Romulus Plot Details Leaked & Trailer Incoming?](https://www.avpgalaxy.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/13032024_01.jpg)
Going into some further detail, V Scooper has since shared more information with Scified, regarding the social backdrop of the main characters and a new “version” of the Aliens. They also confirmed that David Jonsson is playing Andy, the synthetic “brother” of Cailee Spaeny’s Rain. This is information that AvP Galaxy can also verify as true.
The Romulus station is described as circular / funnel shaped and was once a bustling research facility before something happened, leaving it abandoned for years. Not only that, according to our sources:
“Xenomorphs infested the place on their own, with new versions of them that are more ferocious and intense.”
Alien: Romulus will introduce new forms of, more ferocious Xenomorphs / Chestbursters and Facehuggers.
The society Rain and Andy come from do not like Synthetic Androids vey much and there’s more to this dynamic explored in the film’s plot. Aesthetically speaking, the planet they come from is described as being “industrial grit”. This will be a dramatic contrast to the more pristine aesthetic of Prometheus and Alien: Covenant’s ships and environments.
The well known Mike’s Monsters has also just uploaded a video in which he talks about some of the details he has been teasing the Alien fandom with recently, including the new barbed hooks on the Face-Huggers, he also confirms the V-Scooper leaks as authentic, and confirms that [spoilers follow] David and the Covenant are not featured in Alien: Romulus at all. Check out the entire video below!
We also saw mention over the weekend about a trailer for Alien: Romulus being very close to release and that the trailer was already being tested on survey sites which is where we initially believed this information to be coming from. While we fully expect 20th Century to take full advantage of Alien Day this year, it’s very possible we’ll be seeing a teaser trailer within the coming weeks before getting something more substantial on Alien Day.
And since everyone else is sharing, it’s time for Alien vs. Predator Galaxy to get in on the fun and share some details with you! Check back shortly for our own exclusive report on how Alien: Romulus connects to Sir Ridley Scott’s prequels and to the original Alien.

food for thought

Alien: Advent really supports the idea that the black goo is programmable, albeit with some help from female anatomy of Ms. Shaw. I really wish the bio-mechanical aspect of the Xenomorph got more love in films, IMHO it is message aboit the dangers of both bio-engineering and technology'z ability to alter DNA.
i subscribe to this theory.
my theory is that the black goo is nothing but a pathogen that the engineers created from the original Xenomorphs DNA, due to the fact that using the Aliens itself were way too detrimental to control.
which also makes sense, in comparison to the rest of the franchise with the company trying to secure and control a universal, genocidal monster.
and on another note, David will never be "the creator" of the Xenomorph - end of discussion.
Yep.
Is that from Halo?
"The prophets have betrayed us." -The Arbiter
This is the theory/angle that I actually really like. While the early inconsistency with the black goo used to frustrate me, I've become more taken with the idea of it being programable - to an extant, as we saw in Into Charybdis - but I love that it always come back to something related to the Alien. But then the whole chicken and the egg of it is intriguing to me, and I like that we then get some of the ancient mystery that way.
Maybe, but from that info alone, it doesn't say much except that those two things are related, the Pathogen and Alien. You can argue it from the opposite end. That the Pathogen always creates the Alien in the end cause that's the Pathogens origin. The Pathogen could be just a derivative of the original ancient Alien.
For example. Imagine I'm a big dude, you could call me Mr "Big Chap"... You find a way to make stem cells out of my normal cells. They can be used for all kinds of medical purposes. But in the end the stem cells are made from humans and have the base instructions to create humans. You can do all kinds of crazy things with those cells, but they're origin is clear.
That could be the case with the Pathogen IMO.
I like to think that David got lucky with the creations he had in Covenant; He "perfected" the goo into the organism we know as A xenomorph akin to how the engineers made theirs but without their technology, but their HIS xenomorph with a familar genotype, but not outright pure; think the red xenos or K-series yellow mutated strain that came about in AVP:Extinction. Remember in the film that he dicked around with multiple creations and testing on the local flora/fauna of the planet and using whatever was left of Shaw.
To that end, the fact that WY are doing near the same thing, but with the black goo directly extracted from a full-grown xenomorph without the excellence and primitive scientific integrity of David (So far as we know) gives way to an even deadlier species, let alone using the prometheus strain.
But things like the doctoring of Royce...that's just pure bull and misrepresentation.
Whereas we had different examples of Hybrids in an earlier film Alien Resurrection with Ripley 8 her previous clones, the Aliens spawned on the USM Auriga have been heavily effected by Ripley's DNA and the NewBorn is a radically mutated creature an Alien with a heavier imbalance of Human DNA. You could say the Neomorphs deadlier and more scarier whereas the NewBorns more disturbing and memorable. Wonder what new creatures I store for this movie. 😱
Sounds like an curious converging narrative, elements of the prequel era combining with the Alien Resurrection storyline taking all the heritage from the beginning of the saga to its penultimate finale
And I know this would piss a lot of ppl off but I wouldn't mind time travel so that the derelict can still be fossilized as originally intended.
I once had an idea for alien 5 with Ripley 8 deciding to finally go to the alien "homeworld" and finds a decrepit but still online David 8. And Ripley gets to destroy the one who created what ruined both of her lives.
It's also possible they didn't use the elongated mutated Fifield design because they wanted to savour explicit Xenomorph resembling creature til the very end coda with the Deacon.
Maybe David was responsible for creating the Xenomorph as we know it, even if he didn't create the original species itself.
@Corporal Hicks said in stream the other day that this is meant to be the deacon. Though personally I agree with you. I see it as David's hubris to think he created something they has existed all along.
It is admittedly a headscratcher that in Covenant David expresses he created the Alien yet the Mural in Prometheus shows that it is existed before in some form.
Good questions and I wonder if everithing is conected or something....👀👉👈

Might be odd to ask was the black goo pathogen strain in Prometheus that was used to create Fifield, mutate Holloway impregnating Shaw with the Trilobyte DIFFERENT from the pathogen in Alien Covenant that became airborne and spawned Neomorphs or is it meant to be the same?

There's a lot in the behinds the scenes of them struggling to settle on the final design of the mutated Alien Fifield with Ridley complaining one look was too much like a Goblin.
Though scrapped the elongate mutated look was given to the enemies the PathogenHusk in the game Aliens FireTeam Elite.

Oh and they spoild it a lot in the marketing campaing....
In the first Teaser they showed Fifield in a Zombie like form.
https://www.avpgalaxy.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/mutant031.jpg
But in another they showed a more belonged limb Xenomorph-ish mutation.

Perhaps they hadn't fully decided which design of Fifield three were gonna choose at time, Ridley said they went with the Zombie look because it was practical effects and involved the actors performance.
About Prometheus, that's odd. In the teaser trailer they show the mutated Fifield that it was in the final film
Wasn't it around 1991 when Vincent came onto the project the teaser was produced? Had no relevancy to Vincent Ward's wooden world concept, the behind the scenes drama ensued Vincent was fired and David Fincher took over and that prison planet had no relevancy to the teasers implied earth setting either. If I'm to guess it may have just been a marketing move just pushing a new Alien film.
Not a single alien3 script was set on earth.
How the hell did that happen?
Predators is another example....in the trailer but not the film.
There's other examples of trailers that would contain footage that would be cut, there's also times such as Highlander Endgame featuring special effects on the trailer not in the final film, or how in Avengers Infinity War they should Hulk in the final battle but isn't what happens in the film, it's doubtful that for this movie they'd produce an inaccurate trailer misleading what the movie were getting is like.
f**k me, so it was pretty much every death minus one or two, and the Covenant had the biggest crew out of all the movies, so the fact that they managed to spoil all of that is "remarkable" hahaha.
This is a problem of horror movie trailers in general, but Covenant had such a big cast of characters that it ends up being worse.
I mean, at the end of the day, it's still my fault because i watched and rewatched every trailer, clip and TV Spot, but dear god, i wish 20th Century Studios has some restraint with the marketing this time, because i clearly don't.
I think the only deatsh that didn't get spoiled were the one that got his jaw ripped off by the neomorph spinning and hitting it with its tail or Lowe (the second guy to get chestbursted in the movie), with the difference that his death was off-screen.
It was ridiculous.
Also, atleast James Franco getting burned alive wasn't spoiled lmao
Oh yeah, you're right.
Who the hell is Lorraine then? lmao
Uh, Karine was the name of Oram's wife.
