In most ways, Romulus side-steps the continuity of Ridley Scott's divisive prequels Prometheus (2012) and Alien: Covenant (2017), but it's also paradoxically very reliant on that same canon.
Because the set-up of Alien: Romulus specifically focuses on a hitherto unknown Weyland-Yutani research facility that held, bred, and experimented on captive facehuggers, one might assume Wey-Yu is at least partially responsible for the propagation of the xenomorphs.
On X, Reddit, and elsewhere, Alien: Romulus fans are understandably wondering about the specifics of the franchise, specifically about the Engineers from Prometheus and the Space Jockey from Alien.
And yet, with the release of the provocative Alien: Romulus, some of the most elusive questions of the entire franchise remain either vague, confusing, or utterly unanswered.
