In a recent revelation, director Fede Álvarez has highlighted a significant connection between his film *Alien: Romulus* and Ridley Scott’s *Prometheus*. Released on August 16, *Romulus* is the seventh installment in the iconic *Alien* franchise, which began in 1979. The film follows a small crew, led by Rain, portrayed by Cailee Spaeny, as they encounter a terrifying life-form while exploring a derelict space station. A pivotal moment in *Romulus* occurs when the character Kay, played by Isabela Merced, uses liquid extracted from a Xenomorph to heal her injuries. This act inadvertently accelerates the birth of a human-alien hybrid baby. Álvarez noted that while some viewers linked this hybrid to the 1997 film *Alien: Resurrection*, he intended to connect it to *Prometheus*, where the ominous black substance first appeared. He described the black goo as the "root of the whole thing," emphasizing its role in the creation of life, including the Xenomorphs. The black goo, scientifically referred to as chemical A0-3959X.91–15, was created by the ancient alien race known as the Engineers in *Prometheus*. This substance possesses the unique ability to create, transform, and destroy life, making it a crucial element in the *Alien* universe. *Alien: Romulus* has garnered positive reviews, currently holding an 86 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, reflecting its favorable reception among fans and critics alike.
