Alien: Romulus Officially Unites The Entire Alien Movie Franchise After 45 Years

David and the characters from Alien Romulus

Summary The Alien franchise has been divided for years now, but Alien: Romulus has officially united the entire franchise after 45 years. With the exception of the original Alien and Aliens, every other Alien movie has been fairly divisive, with the franchise constantly having to change plans in order to please audiences. This is why the cliffhanger endings of Alien: Resurrection and Alien: Covenant were never resolved, which was a big disappointment for some.

2 Alien: Romulus Directly Links Ridley Scott's Prequels To The Original Movies Through The Return Of The Black Goo Close Upon the release of Prometheus, Ridley Scott promised a multi-movie prequel series that would eventually link up to the original Alien's point in the timeline. While Alien: Covenant did continue this plan, connecting more Prometheus elements to the original Alien, the 2017 film was still set years before the 1979 movie and focused on entirely different characters.

Alien: Romulus' Connections To Other Alien Movies Improves The Franchise Prometheus Feels More Connected Now Close Although Alien: Romulus carrying on plot points from Prometheus and Alien: Covenant may be controversial to some, these connections actually improve the franchise. For years now, the Alien franchise has felt segmented, with the original series and the prequel series having two entirely different tones, stories, and bits of lore.

1 Alien: Romulus Uniting The Franchise Is Great For Alien's Future Other Alien Storylines Could Come Back Close Alien: Romulus' decision to unite the franchise is great, as it could have positive impacts on the future of the Alien series. Bringing back the Prometheus story element means that future Alien sequels could do the same thing for other less-well-received Alien films.
