In anticipation of the upcoming Alien: Romulus, we’d like to revisit all the classics that came before. Here’s a list of all the Alien movies a fan might want to watch to get familiar with this universe. This list represents the movies chronologically as they were released, which means the timeline will be a bit all over the place.

Alien (1979)
In deep space, the crew of the commercial starship Nostromo is awakened from their cryo-sleep capsules halfway through their journey home to investigate a distress call from an alien vessel. The terror begins when the crew encounters a nest of eggs inside the alien ship. An organism from inside an egg leaps out and attaches itself to one of the crew, causing him to fall into a coma.

1. Aliens (1986)
   After floating in space for 57 years, Lt. Ripley’s (Sigourney Weaver) shuttle is found by a deep-space salvage team. Upon arriving at LV-426, the Marines find only one survivor, a nine-year-old girl named Newt (Carrie Henn). But even these battle-hardened marines with all the latest weaponry are no match for the hundreds of aliens that have invaded the colony.
2. Alien 3 (1992)
   Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) is the only survivor when she crash-lands on Fiorina 161, a bleak wasteland inhabited by former inmates of the planet’s maximum security prison. Once again, Ripley must face scepticism and the alien as it hunts down the prisoners and guards. Without weapons or modern technology of any kind, Ripley leads the men into battle against the terrifying creature.
3. Alien: Resurrection (1997)
   The saga continues 200 years after Ripley sacrificed herself for the sake of humanity. Her erstwhile employers are long gone; this time, it is the military that resurrects the one-woman killing machine through genetic cloning to extract the alien from within her. However, during the process, her DNA is fused with the queen’s, and then the aliens escape. Now Ripley must decide where her allegiance lies.

1. Alien vs. Predator (2004)
   When the wealthy and ambitious Charles Bishop Weyland (Lance Henriksen) funds an expedition to Antarctica, he hopes to find a mysterious source of heat that has been detected. Led by guide, Alexa Woods (Sanaa Lathan), Weyland and his team uncover a pyramid, but they also find malevolent parasitic aliens. Making matters worse, another extraterrestrial species, known as Predators, arrives to hunt the other aliens, with the humans caught in the middle of the conflict.
2. Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007)
   Following the events of the previous film, a Predator ship leaves Earth carrying Xenomorph facehuggers and Scar’s body before a chestburster with traits of both species emerges. It quickly matures into an adult Predalien and starts killing the Predators on board.
3. Prometheus (2012)
   The discovery of a clue to mankind’s origins on Earth leads a team of explorers to the darkest parts of the universe. Two brilliant young scientists lead the expedition. Shaw (Noomi Rapace) hopes that they will meet a race of benevolent, godlike beings who will, in some way, verify her religious beliefs, while Holloway (Logan Marshall-Green) aims to debunk any spiritual notions. However, neither the scientists nor their shipmates are prepared for the unimaginable terrors that await them.
4. Alien: Covenant (2017)
   Bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, members (Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup) of the colony ship Covenant discover what they think to be an uncharted paradise. While there, they meet David (Michael Fassbender), the synthetic survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition. The mysterious world soon turns dark and dangerous when a hostile alien life-form forces the crew into a deadly fight for survival.

And now, we are all caught up and looking forward to Alien: Romulus, coming out on the 16th of August. So far, the production team has been very secretive about the plot, but the trailer reveals the following: A group of young space colonists who, while scavenging a derelict space station, come face-to-face with the most terrifying life form in their universe.

We’re looking forward to watching it and getting the review out to you!

SPOILER WARNING!

Get ready, Marvel fans! The much-anticipated Deadpool & Wolverine movie is just around the corner, and the trailers have already dropped some tantalizing hints. Fans have dissected every frame, leading to some wild and intriguing theories. Here at Fanatical Fandom we’ve done our homework and compiled a list of the most fascinating predictions.

Remember, this article might contain spoilers, so proceed with caution!

Let’s Dive into the Trailer Tidbits

First off, the trailers give us a few “facts.” Deadpool name-drops the MCU and Kevin Feige, hinting that he’ll officially join the Marvel Cinematic Universe and might even crown himself the “Marvel Jesus.” We also see Deadpool wandering through the Time Variance Authority (TVA) from the “Loki” series, tasked with hunting down a Wolverine variant who apparently let his world down.

Fan Theory Frenzy: The Wolverine Variant

A popular theory suggests this Wolverine variant may have killed the MCU’s X-Men and is drowning his sorrows in typical Wolverine fashion: hitting the bars. Another spin on this theory is that Wolverine destroyed the X-Men from the 20th Century Fox universe. This idea is bolstered by a scene showing a demolished 20th Century Fox logo behind Deadpool and Wolverine. With Disney’s acquisition of Fox, they can now reference and utilize characters from the previous X-Men films.

Iconic Costume: The Yellow Spandex

Sharp-eyed fans noticed Wolverine sporting his classic yellow spandex suit, but without the iconic mask. Some CGI wizards have analyzed shadows under Hugh Jackman s head in the trailers, suggesting the mask might have been digitally removed to keep us guessing. So, we might finally see Wolverine fully suited up as in the comics, mask and all!

The Ultimate Showdown: Wolverine vs. Sabertooth… or Hulk?

The most exciting theory involves an epic fight scene. The trailer shows Sabretooth from the 2000 X-Men movie squaring off against Wolverine, with Deadpool humorously interrupting to retrieve his swords from Wolverine’s back, remarking, “People have been waiting decades for this fight.” While this hints at a Wolverine vs. Sabretooth showdown, leaked set photos show Logan holding Sabretooth’s head. This has led some to speculate that the real “villain” could be the Hulk. Marvel is known for trailer misdirection, and this could be a prime example.

If true, this would be monumental, as Wolverine’s first comic appearance involved hunting down the Hulk, marking the start of their legendary rivalry.

Wrapping Up the Theories

These are just a few predictions for the Deadpool X Wolverine movie. The MCU community’s passion and dedication to theorising is truly impressive. Even if these predictions don’t all come to fruition, they show the creativity and excitement Marvel fans bring to the table. Here’s hoping Marvel takes note of these fantastic ideas!

Stay tuned, and keep those claws crossed for an epic cinematic showdown!
