Retroactive requels appear to be the new trend in horror franchises. On the heels of Saw X, Alien: Romulus takes place between the first and second Alien films. The story’s supposedly unconnected to the rest, and Ripley’s lost in space during this period, but it’s hard to imagine the Weyland-Yutani company isn’t up to their usual xenomorph shenanigans again.
