Where Did All The Facehuggers & Xenomorphs Come From In Alien: Romulus?

How is it that there are so many facehuggers and xenomorphs lurking on board the Renaissance research station in Alien: Romulus, and yet there are no eggs? With both critical and commercial success, Alien: Romulus has given the Alien franchise a much-needed comeback after a string of disappointing sequels, prequels, and spin-offs. It’s been hailed as the best Alien movie since Alien and Aliens, which is appropriate since it’s essentially a cross between those two films.

Rook Explained The Facehuggers' Origin On The Renaissance In Alien: Romulus The Renaissance crew reverse-engineered the xenomorph DNA and 3D-printed the facehuggers Close After their first encounter with the facehuggers, the characters of Alien: Romulus plug in what’s left of the android Rook – played by the uncanny-valley likeness of Ian Holm – to ask him what happened.

But even that’s not all. When Rain, Tyler, and Andy go into the hive to save a cocooned Kay, they find a bunch of other poor humans cocooned in the nest. This hints that the facehugger-related deaths of some crew members led to a xenomorph swarm that wiped out the rest. Suffice to say, it wouldn’t have been very enviable to be a part of the original crew of the Renaissance station.

All the exposition surrounding the Renaissance crew’s experimentation with xenomorph DNA and the black goo paid off, too. Just when Alien: Romulus seems to be wrapping up, Álvarez surprises audiences with an unexpected fourth act in which Kay gives birth to a truly horrifying human-xenomorph hybrid – dubbed “The Offspring” – who wreaks havoc on the survivors.
