Just posted to social media by horror website Bloody Disgusting, we have a fresh new look at the slimy terror that is the Xenomorph from the upcoming Alien: Romulus. The Alien is shrouded in smoke and the overall scene looks like the one we briefly saw at the end of the Romulus teaser trailer. While it’s nice to see a new angle on this Xenomorph face, much of its design for the film still remains a mystery. If you look closely, you can spot the signature empty skull eye sockets under the cracked dome.
Via USA Today: “A deadly xenomorph terrorizes young space explorers on a derelict space station in Alien: Romulus”
The image was released courtesy of news outlet USA Today as part of their summer movie recommendations, and included the following caption:
Director Fede Alvarez (“Don’t Breathe”) crafts the latest chapter of the sci-fi horror franchise, a chiller that stars Cailee Spaeny, Isabela Merced and David Jonsson as space colonizers who come across an abandoned space station and are terrorized by freaky Facehuggers as well as a fearsome Xenomorph.

This can all go away if you'll just pledge to buy a ticket on opening day and post a positive review of it afterward.
I was too young to catch 1-3 in the theater, so every theater experience I've had in with series has ranged from frustrating to heartbreaking.
I hope I'm so very wrong about this film; I want nothing more than to fall in love with this series again, and maybe gain some hope for its future.
Likewise, those of us who are genuinely looking forward to seeing the movie and are excited by what we have seen and heard from the marketing so far do not all fall into the category of "consumerist fanboys". Honestly, the 'True Fan TM' bullshit is getting old now. If people don't want to see the movie (whether that be in cinema, or at all, be it for reasons that you simply aren't interested, it hasn't grabbed you, on ethical grounds, or whatever) that's perfectly fine, more power to you guys! I was exactly the same with 'The Predator'- it did nothing for me, I didn't go to cinema nor buy it on physical media, and found it was even worse than expected when I finally saw a download. I get it. This fandom is incredibly diverse, and different elements of the movies speak to each of us. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. But this constant suggestion (whether intended or not) that anyone and everyone who is genuinely excited and looking forward to this movie are somehow mindless drones/ sheep / consuming fanboys / lack critical thinking etc etc (have I missed any from past comments?) is just getting tiresome.. this is the Romulus catch all thread, we're coming here for updates/scoops/news that may be shared along with thoughts/theories/insights on those bits of info... and as someone pointed out earlier, they scrolled through 5 pages during the course of half a football match to read absolutely nothing but off-topic squabbling.
There are no "fanboys" here... we are *all* fans.
This 100%.
There is a clear distinction between being a consumerist fanboy and a casual fan (with shades of grey in between). I fall squarely into the latter category. There's not a chance in hell that I'll be going to the cinema to watch this movie, especially given that the trailer/promo shots are indicating 'member berries crap, coupled with this being a Disney production (yuk!) and there not having been a decent Alien movie since Alien 3. I'll check the movie out once there are quality HD rips on the Bay, but not until then.
Just because I check this site/forum out once or twice a week (around 10-20 minutes in total) does not dictate that I'll be rushing to watch this movie at the soonest possible opportunity.

but it may be unnecessary and well executed fanservice @la Rogué One
Something in between Big Chap and Stompy maybe? It will have some things of Covenant's Alien for sure, being a little fleshy to besides biomechanical
Lots of talk about the xeno head, but what are predictions for its body design? I imagine it's going to dominantly be inspired by big chap (not as slender as later iterations, more biomechanical) but a slightly greater ratio of bio to mechanical... like, using a photo blend app, 75% big chap, 25% Covenant xeno... but I can't figure if Fede is likely to roll with the classic body shape throughout (for legs) or roll with inspiration from Stompy (since the movie is clearly incorporating a lot of visual cues from Alien 3 when it comes to the creatures, and also nods to Isolation).
Thoughts /opinions?
(Any intel @Mike's Monsters?) 😃

Same
He lived long enough to become the villain
lol oh I know it wasn't, just putting him on the spot for being uncivil.
And agreed, different views shouldn't be an issue. We all have a right to our opinions, being praise or criticism of the franchise.
Lol I think not. We're on a forum discussing everything, from past films to upcoming ones, toys, novels, games etc... It's expected to have different opinions, from enthusiastic to skeptical and wary.

I think to some it has become the opposite affect now. Ridley's name on a new alien project brings dread.
Covenant had some very odd ones.
I'm looking forward to seeing what else Romulus puts out for the marketing.
Honestly I can't blame you.
I read that in Newt's voice.
If they decide not to go, then the marketing has failed. It's up to the marketing to show enough to communicate enough to convince people to go.
Maybe later trailers will change people's minds. Maybe they won't. But it's up to them what they think, and people really need to back off and understand that everyone is going to make their own decisions and that's fine.
I mean you can't really gleam much off that teaser although it does look a bit try hardy. Tough to tell. I usually don't catch anything in the cinema these days ( apart from Dune and the likes).
Good excuse to go 🔥
Good point.
The marketing is intended to make people want to watch the movie. If it fails to do that, there is no "too early".
I can get behind say, boycotting Star Wars movies since they have been consistently garbage (for me), but Alien and Predator are such a mixed bag. Different basically everything ( story, director, actors, timelines).
I'll definitely be catching it in the cinema.
THEN I can bitch
I'm trusting you. Don't let me down.
Spoiler
If my AI concerns aren't realised I'd be trying to see it as soon as possible, and I've never said otherwise. I'd love to see it in cinema.

Not necessarily for others.
That's the point. If others decide they don't want to watch it, then they don't need to watch it.
Will you put them in a wood chipper ?
Perhaps ?
