Alien : Romulus present a novel Xenomorph to the long - run franchise , and it ’s one of the most frightening additions to the series in age .
WithAlien : Romulusfinally offering a more concrete connection between the prequels and original flick afterCovenant ’s cliffhanger ending , Álvarez and Sayagues have ultimately made well on much of the hope of the former movies . Though there are still plenty of unreciprocated question posed by Scott inPrometheusandAlien : Covenant , namely the destiny of Michael Fassbender ’s David and Katherine Waterston ’s Daniels , the deeper account behind the nature of the black goo and Weyland - Yutani ’s interest in it offers some better understanding for the wider lore of the enfranchisement .
