You're right! On my second viewing I spotted it – nice little Easter Egg!

Yes. It's a digitized light shaped rendering when Kwei is showing Dek the various planets to choose for a hunt in the first part of the movie. 

New spot leads with "from the Studio that brought you Alien: Romulus"...

I anticipate an AvP coming sooner than later now after the hype around Badlands. I wonder if this is the reason for Romulus 2 production getting delayed, though...

New behind-the-scenes featurette from IGN called The Warrior's Journey:

Crafting the Predator TV spot:

Update: My early screening had no swag 😔 not keychains even, and it was an IMAX theater 😒

Quite a bit more footage shown in this TV spot. I particularly like how this one was cut together:

And another TV spot featuring Tessa giving some taunting words to Dek:

Another movie clip was released:

I know, I’m actually surprised… hoping more voters pile in to sway sentiment cause the results don’t make sense so far lol… 

The results for this poll are very concerning.

Welp, good to know the right movie is winning.

Swag not sure, I know some theaters are giving away keychains and of course, a variety of popcorn buckets and cups:

Weyland-Yutani Returns Featurette:

Another one this time from Singapore:

Cool fan art discovered on X by Nexus & Gobrus: 

Also can't wait for the new IT: Welcome to Derry series! The new teaser trailer is creepy AF...

Ultimate Neo Godzilla by Jimmy Nugget I came across on X:

I quite like this rendition.

Some new ones by another artist I enjoy, Jared Modina:Really like his take on the Xenomorph Warrior here.

O, love that one 💯

The votes keep pouring in and the consensus seems to be in favor of another prequel 😬 I wonder if Disney are watching...

Movie clip, Trees Attack, posted by 20th Century Studios:

Godzilla 70th anniversary Five Legacies statue by Igloo Studio features an amalgamation of Godzilla (1954), Godzilla (1995), Godzilla (2001), Godzilla (2016) and Godzilla (2023):

Got my tickets secured for November 5th!

Some new ones by another artist I enjoy, Jared Modina:

Really like his take on the Xenomorph Warrior here.

I'm really fascinated by the votes being in favour of another prequel over Romulus 2 and Alien 5 so far! 

🤣 so spot on LOL That's brilliant!

This one by loikbihan on Instagram. Pretty spot-on depiction.

This is a tough one, but while I wouldn't mind any of the options, seeing that Sigourney Weaver wanted to cooperate with Walter Hill in an interview really invigorated my interest in having her back, coupled with the fact how well she played the teenage(!) Na'vi in Avatar 2 recently. She's still got it no doubt. 

Additionally, I've never sensed a desperation from her side as she's always struck me as a person who's cleverly picky about (and maybe/rightfully a bit tired of reprising her role as Ripley once again at the time) her roles. 

A new sequel I say, but I'd be no less happy with another prequel. Ground rule is, a good script just like Weaver touched upon in said interview.  

Also, thank you Chris for not adding a fourth option "Alien Earth: The Movie. In the Beginning" 😂

It’s an interesting thought to consider Ripley's escape ship from Alien still drifting through space during the timeline of Alien Romulus. 

I think Ridley is partly to blame. Not that I mourn them but it started with Prometheus retconing the AVP movies. For the best to be certain (in my opinion anyway) but it set a precedent. He's produced Alien Earth so he's definitely fine with it ignoring his prequels. He could have made sure Earth didn't ignore them. He allowed it to happen. Same goes with Blomkamp's movie. It would have ignored 3 and Resurrection and Ridley was producing. If Walter Hill's treatment moves forward Ridley will more than likely produce. Ridley is most certainly not concerned with continuity. 

Great topic and you're absolutely right. The Alien franchise seems to be splintering off in multiple directions and its going to lose its coherence if something isn't done about it. It feels like storytelling is going out the window and in its place is a manifestation of ADHD incoherence – each new director / writer cherry picking their favorite timelines and aspects and making their own story with it instead of acknowledging and keeping the story tethered. 

That being said it is very very possible to at least maintain film canon with all these offshoot projects, they can make a Ripley story, Ridley can make a new prequel and Romulus 2 can also exist and all respect the same architecture of what came before them. It just requires a little more thought and consideration.

Studio execs should give us the keys and we can build them an outline! 😂

Interesting piece of trivia i left out. When writing Alien Sea of Sorrows, author James A. Moore was initially supposed to ignore Alien 3 and Resurrection then Fox changed their minds. The novel then had to be altered to acknowledge those particular entries. Moore welcomed the change because he enjoyed them warts and all. This is a 2014 novel so it predates Disney buying Fox but even then the desire to retcon 3 and Resurrection existed.
