Theories - How do you think the Alien will arrive on Earth in the Noah series?

What are your theories on this. How do you think the Alien will get to Earth in the Noah series?

[Nightmare Asylum]

Don't thank me, thank Species.

[Corporal Hicks]

As far as I'm concerned Sil is an Engineer weapon broadcast into space to wipe out civilisations before they become too advanced.

The Predators will deliver one to Weyland-Yutani in a stasis pod after travelling back in time with it.

[Local Trouble]

It should be something the company can't reproduce after it's inevitably destroyed or lost.

Which, if it's a prequel, we already know it will be.

I've kind of kept my self spoiler free from this, but have they officially said the Alien will be on earth?


Maybe Earth is the hub of the story but everything else is off world or something. 

[Kailem]

Yeah the initial official announcement, as well as the most recent producer comments, confirmed it's set on Earth.

I bloody hope so

From Hawley, back in July 2021:

It's not a Ripley story. She's one of the great characters of all time, and I think the story has been told pretty perfectly, and I don't want to mess with it. It's a story that's set on Earth also. The alien stories are always trapped... Trapped in a prison, trapped in a space ship. I thought it would be interesting to open it up a little bit so that the stakes of "What happens if you can't contain it?" are more immediate.

The intent is definitely to bring the Aliens themselves to Earth.

In Noah I trust. What he did with Fargo is true masterclass. I'm not worried at all about Alien series.

[Immortan Jonesy]

In the movie The Tomorrow War, the protagonists discover that the alien outbreak originated from a spaceship buried in a glacier millennia ago. With climate change the ice melted and the monsters woke up to take over the world. Furthermore, the characters theorize that the aliens and the ship were biological arsenal created by an unknown alien civilization, and that humans may or may not be the target. I couldn't help but mentalize the same scenario but with the Aliens & Engineers. Anyhow, something on that scale in the Prometheus era and before 1979's Alien is impossible.

Amen to that.

I feel the same

Maybe they will explore the origin of the order 937. And, the person who issued it.

Hopefully the worldbuilding includes the exploration of interesting details like that one.
