While the official marketing of Alien: Romulus is expected to start winding up over the next month or so, things have been very quiet on the details front for Fede Alvarez’s upcoming Alien: Romulus. However, the last few days have seen quite a few details about Alien: Romulus unleashed on the internet from various insiders with knowledge of a recent test screening (you can check out a summary of that information here).
Beware huge spoilers! Please do not read further if you don’t want the connections spoilers. You have been warned!
While it’s been public for a while thanks to the Perfect Organism Podcast’s previous teases about the film having connections to the prequel films, Mike’s Monsters has recently confirmed that neither David or the Covenant are featured in the film at all. So what is the connection?
Rather, Alien vs. Predator Galaxy can exclusively confirm that the black goo (or accelerant as it is known in the expanded universe) is making a return in the film. A Hyperdyne Systems 120-A/2 model android was able to discover and reverse engineer the genetic makeup of the black goo contained within the DNA of the Aliens that had been captive aboard the spacestation. Known in Alien: Romulus as the Prometheus Strain, the scientists had been experimenting with the black goo as a miracle cure for all diseases.
Alien: Romulus will also feature another huge connection to the original Alien film in the way of the inclusion of the previously mentioned Hyperdyne Systems 120-A/2. Named Rook, this new synthetic character features the likeness and voice of the late Sir Ian Holm which Alien vs. Predator Galaxy understands is augmented by AI.
