Following the tease and hidden image of Alien: Romulus’ Xenomorph from Fede Alvarez last night, the promised tomorrow has finally arrived. Alongside the first poster for Alien: Romulus, we now have our first look at the film’s teaser trailer. Check it out below!
The trailer begins with a spaceship heading towards a huge spaceport. We see a blood-soaked corridor with characters screaming in the background. Multiple Facehuggers break out of a confinement and we see different shots of the characters. The teaser ends with Cailee Spaeny’s character holding a weapon similar to the Pulse Rifle while a Xenomorph appears from overhead.
The sci-fi/horror-thriller takes the phenomenally successful “Alien” franchise back to its roots: While scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station, a group of young space colonizers come face to face with the most terrifying life form in the universe. The film stars Cailee Spaeny (“Priscilla”), David Jonsson (“Agatha Christie’s Murder is Easy”), Archie Renaux (“Shadow and Bone”), Isabela Merced (“The Last of Us”), Spike Fearn (“Aftersun”), Aileen Wu. Fede Alvarez (“Evil Dead,” “Don’t Breathe”) directs from a screenplay he wrote with frequent collaborator Rodo Sayagues (“Don’t Breathe 2”) based on characters created by Dan O’Bannon and Ronald Shusett. “Alien: Romulus” is produced by Ridley Scott (“Napoleon”), who directed the original “Alien” and produced and directed the series’ entries “Prometheus” and “Alien: Covenant,” Michael Pruss (“Boston Strangler”), and Walter Hill (“Alien”), with Fede Alvarez, Elizabeth Cantillon (“Charlie’s Angels”), Brent O’Connor (“Bullet Train”), and Tom Moran (“Unstoppable”) serving as executive producers.
And now for the poster!

Update #2: The trailer can also be found on the 20th Century Studio’s Instagram and there’s four new shots at the start of it:
Those rail shooters were the GOAT.

I confess that I love each Alien film: its aesthetic, style, and interpretation of the Xenomorph. But the original Alien is my favorite, and to see hints we may get some of that former g(l)ory "brings warm feelings to my heart." (Yoda, Attack of the Clones).
Bigger Chap
Honestly my least favourite part of those movies is the super generic tech. If you got rid of WeyYu logos and didn't mention or show xenos I doubt anyone would know they were alien prequels.
And recently there was a swarm of facehuggers in Dark Descent in one of first cutscenes. So we got that visual in motion, but now it's time for live action one.
They don't seem to react at all / flinch to the facehugger leaping around, so I presume this is deliberate, and they didn't let the hugger into the room by accident.
Oh - and maybe an Easter Egg - at 0:49 when the Ripley-esque character stands near an archway, the wire pattern on the archway above her head and slightly behind her is (half) the shape of the octagon self-destruct countdown computer screen used by Mother in the original Alien film
Spoiler
Hell yeah

Uncanny valley?
I think you're in for a treat.
👁🕸👁👉👈Luckily I'm somewhat both arachno- lover / phobic.
... me after watching this teaser.
He sneaks and he eats them solely for fun
No matter what happens
Whoever might call
There's nothing that frightens him
Nothing at all
Ha, yes i totally agree with you. As I was trying to remember these "nicknames" I kept thinking that some of these are actually script names. I also agree that forcing a name will never stick it's just a fun thought experiment.
Welcome friend! Yes, what a time to be an Alien or Predator fan. I must say I haven't been this pumped for an alien or predator release since i saw the Predators trailer. While I feel that Prey was superior to predators in many ways that Predators trailer was epic!!
Having listened to some of the interviews I feel that Alvarez and Trachtenberg have the same kind of respect and reverence of the franchises. I don't want to get my hopes up but if this teaser is anything close to the actual movie I think we are in for a real treat.
Well, he also came out of the Dark Place on trailer, so it fits
Mr Scratch.
Or just Scratch.
Big Chap was what it was called on set. Warrior and Newborn were in the script and the Alien 3 creature is variously called the Dragon, Spike or Runner.
A nickname will evolve through common usage rather than someone forcing an opinion on a forum (not that I think you're forcing an opinion- just speaking generally).
Sometimes you gotta roll the dice.
I wonder if Giger would have liked the scene and design🤔
Only if the Xeno in question was in Guns N Roses.
Big Chap
Warrior
Dog
Newborn
...what are we calling the Alien in the trailer?
Scarface is okay but there is a scar-face in a predator game
What about Slash?

The Alien side of the fandom can all join hand in hand to dip their toes into Predator 2 once a year, as a shared communal experience. Same sensation.
It is and was pointed out to me on Twitter. I'm a filthy casual apparently!
Yeah, him from Episode 22 of Saga of the Weapon.
