Granted Alien: Romulus Box office success and the excitement building around the new show, the franchise could reach new heights in the coming years. In the 2010s, Ridley Scott returned to the series with Prometheus and Alien: Covenant, although both films received mixed reviews on their release and still remain divisive among audiences. Although they may not be the best Alien movies individually, There is almost unanimous praise for Michael Fassbender’s performance as David. He is one of the best characters of the franchise, and the audience still craves more of him.
Alien: Earth is a prequel at the same time as Prometheus
Alien: Earth will incorporate the Weyland-Yutani Corporation
in the Alien Timeline, the new series is set to be a prequel (in relation to 1979’s Alien). It will take place a little earlier PrometheusMeaning It will explore a world where the Weyland-Yutani Corporation is still under the control of Peter WeylandAlthough it is unknown if he will appear in the series. This will be the first project in the franchise that will take place on Earth, showing the imagined state of the world in the 2090s. Although the show looks to be focused on exploring new characters, it still leaves a lot of room for Prometheus letters to return.
A synopsis of Term declared that the show would “Deal with the emergence of the infamous Wayland-Yutani Corporation from the story and the race between corporations to create new android life.” Androids have always been staples of the Alien Franchise, with David being arguably the most important. It should be fascinating to see the political/economic conflicts surrounding Wieland-Yutani’s affairs, because they are a phantom threat that looms over the franchise from the very beginning.
Alien: Romulus Given a small taste of what human civilization would grow to look like in the mining colony early in the film. Corrupt corporations run rampant in this era with little regard for human life, and Alien: Earth Can provide a glimpse of the progression to this state. Alien Resurrection shows a doomed version of the planet, but civilization is still intact decades earlier, and it doesn’t seem like it will be as ruinous as, say, the image of Earth in Blade RunnerRidley Scott’s other sci-fi world.
Michael Fassbender wouldn’t have to be David or Walter in Alien: Earth
Michael Fassbender could play a different android
Alien Audiences know Michael Fassbender as David or Walter, but it may not be too advantageous to immediately recall each character.

As for Walter, there may not be much more to explore with this version of the character, as he is basically a plot device for the 2017 movie.

In the world of AlienFassbender’s physical appearance is just a model for a variety of androids. He could arrive at any time to play an unimportant, unnamed android Which is none-the-wiser to the royal destruction that would eventually be caused by his brother, David. It might not be particularly interesting to see Fassbender return as a Third Android character, but it could be a fun way to tie the prequel movies to the prequel show, if he’s going to be short on the show, to establish some cohesion and give a nod to the lore of the films.
in Alien: RomulusSir Ian Holm is posthumously as the android slide still appeared in the original Alien Movie like the Android Ash. While his appearance is one of the many Alien References in the film, he also appears as a completely different character. Rook may have many similarities to Ash in appearance and demeanor, but they are different androids.
Alien: Romulus has already moved away from Prometheus & Covenant
Alien: Romulus takes the franchise in a different direction than David’s story
The new movie has been praised for its connections to the various installments of the Alien franchise, including Ridley Scott’s prequels. But while it incorporated the black Gu of PrometheusThe film ultimately steers the franchise’s ship back to the premise of the original Alien Film. Rather than exploring the mythology of this universe, and the existential concepts of androids, humanity, and creation myths, Alien: Romulus Leans into character-driven monster horror. Thus, it does not seem like the movie saga will continue to explore Ridley Scott’s lore, at least in the same capacity as before.
Bring back David at this point is unlikely, and it would be difficult for Alien: Earth To examine thoughts about the engineers
While it’s unclear whether Alien: Earth will take a uniform direction with Alien: Romulus and its sequels, It certainly seems that the storyline of Prometheus And Bond is finished for now. Bring back David at this point is unlikely, and it would be difficult for Alien: Earth To explore ideas about the Engineers or the existential questions of the prequel movies, since those events haven’t happened yet on the timeline. Still, Michael Fassbender returning as a different character is not impossible.
Alien: Earth Could Completely Retcon Prometheus’ Xenomorph Origin Story
Alien: Earth would show humanity’s first contact with a xenomorph
One of the funny things about Alien: Earth is that the show intends to have a xenomorph, raising many questions about the timeline of the franchise. Prometheus And Bond Examine an origin story for the Xenomorph through the Engineers’ Black Goo, demonstrating how the aliens would be created by human vessels with the cycle of Facehuggers, Chestbursters and fully grown Xenomorphs. If the creatures are to appear on Alien: EarthIt would redefine humanity’s first contact with themMaking drastic changes to the lore of the films.

Even Alien: Romulus Relies on the idea that Wieland-Yutani wanted to search for the original Nostromo ship to gather information about the Xenomorph. This may be because they have seen one before Alien: Earth And didn’t have a chance to learn it, but the explanation becomes a little difficult. When a xenomorph appears in the TV prequel, it seems to indicate that some changes will be made in the lore of the films, and it will be interesting to see where Alien: Earth Take the series.
