Fede Álvarez, the co-writer and director of 'Alien: Romulus', has generated excitement regarding a potential connection to the original heroine, Ellen Ripley. He hinted that Ripley might play a role in the film, which has previously focused on its plot without direct homages to the original saga. Álvarez elaborated on his vision, suggesting that Ripley experienced another adventure during the 40 years of her absence, thereby adding depth to her narrative as he addresses the longstanding mysteries surrounding her character's fate during that time.
Ripley spent more than 50 years lost in deep space, but everyone always assumed she was just in cryosleep. I wanted her to have one extra adventure that we just didn't witness.
I was like, 'At some point, the Narcissus has to be inside the Renaissance station somewhere.' Not only that, I wanted to give an explanation of why Ripley got lost 40 years.
