Hype for Fede Alvarez's Alien movie is pretty colossal with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Ridley Scott𓆉 already giving it 🌜high praise. Now, we finally know when it sits on the franchise’s timeline, and it’꧙s got us speculating what this might mean for the plot of Alie🃏n: Romulus. 

Cailee Spaeny, who is set to lead the new movie, gave the details, confirming it takes place between Alien and Aliens. "It’s supposed to slot in between the first movie and the second movie," she said. "They brought the same team from Aliens, the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:James Cameron film. The same people who built those xenomorphs actually came on and built ours. So getting to see the original design with the original people who have been working on these films for 45-plus years and has been so much of their life has been real🌠ly incredible."

The first fil𓄧m in the franchise, Scott’s Alien was rele🎃ased in 1979 and takes place in 2122. It follows the crew of Nostromo who find themselves face-to-face with a xenomorph. Ripley (played by Sigourney Weaver), is the sole survivor of the incident and we next meet her 57 years later in James Cameron’s Aliens (1986) when she’s rescued from deep space.

The fact that Alien: Romulus takes place between these two movies and draws upon the🎉 xenomorphs from Cameron’s sequel has got fans speculating. This is especially true as we know very little about the plot of the new movie, which is꧒ billed as a standalone entry and stars Isabela Merced, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Spike Fearn, and Aileen Wu, alongside Spaeny.

"Makes one wonder if it's a prequel to Aliens," one💦  speculated. "Why else use the exact same xenomorph design from Aliens when all the other films in the franchise have their own unique design?" Meanwhile, another  it could take place in Hadley’s Hope, the research colony that first appeared in Aliens. "I know it won't but I hope it has some nods to Alien: Isolation since it's during that same time frame," a .

This time frame certainly does open up a wealth of possibilities, but all we know so far 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:from the first look is that it ღwill feature face-huggers and an airlock iꦛnterior. 

Alien: Romulus will be released in theaters on August 16, 2024. For more 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming movies, check out our list of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:2023 movie release dates.
