WHERE DOES IT FIT IN THE ALIEN TIMELINE?

“Alien: Romulus” is set chronologically between Alien and Aliens, at some point during Ripley’s journey in the escape pod while she is in stasis. Although it was initially thought that there would be no connections to the rest of the franchise, it seems this new release will include multiple nods and temporal contextualization elements. According to the director, “I didn’t want to omit or ignore any of them when it comes to connections at a story level, character level, technology level, and creature level. There’s always connections from Alien to Alien: Covenant”.
