Where Alien: Romulus Fits in the Franchise's Timeline
The Alien franchise is one of the most successful and popular science fiction movie franchises of all time, with the property being a pop-cultural phenomenon ever since the Ridley Scott original. Though it began in the 1970s, the series and its timeline are still going strong. This culminated in the recent release of the prequel Alien: Romulus, which is and isn't the next entry in the franchise.
Far from straightforward, the Alien movies and their spinoffs have a somewhat confusing chronology. This was compounded by the movie Prometheus, which some viewers initially didn't even realize was related to Alien. Alien: Romulus may make said continuity even more convoluted for some fans, though it's possibly the best chance the series has at a fresh jumping-on point.
