ย It’s not entirely clear yet exactly what the connection will be between Alien: Romulus and this age-old legend, but brothers Romulus and Remus evidently don’t see eye-to-eye on a crucial issue. This could be a hint that the sibling dynamic aboard the ship in the film will be one fraught with discontent. From a broader perspective, the story of Romulus and Remus is about the founding of one of the greatest empires of all time, perhaps teasing that the film will end with the birth of something grand (or terrible).Spaeny’s character, Rain, might be the Romulus of this story, potentially setting her up as the architect of something that hasn’t yet been revealed. How exactly the Alien franchise’s classic Xenomorph factors into this connection between the two stories also remains to be seen. Many questions remain about Alien: Romulus, and the true meaning of the title may not be revealed until the movie actually comes out.
