AlthoughAlien: Romulushas some distinct connections to other movies in the franchise, the cast is entirely new.

In the film, Fearn plays Bjorn, the cousin of Tyler and Kay.

That is, until the chestburster scene.

However, in this list, Isabela Merced’s performance as Kay holds the bronze medal.

Kay’s role is primarily that of an observer.

In the final act, Merced’s performance then takes on a more emotional form inAlien: Romulus’biggestAlienfranchise reveal.

Alien: Romulus is the seventh film in the Alien franchise. The movie is directed by Fede Álvarez and will focus on a new young group of characters who come face to face with the terrifying Xenomorphs. Alien: Romulus is a stand-alone film and takes place in a time not yet explored in the Alien franchise.

Only minutes into the film, Spaeny’s depiction of a down-on-her-luck orphan makes Rain immediately sympathetic.

Without Spaeny,Alien: Romuluswould not be one of the better-rankedAlienmovies.

1David Jonnson

Character: Andy

The best performance inAlien: Romulusbelongs to David Jonnson.

The second Andy is more of a pseudo-antagonist inAlien: Romulus.

Throughout the entire film and the many changes Andy undergoes, Jonnson never forgets to make him sympathetic.

Without Jonnson effortlessly making Andy so likable, none of these decisions would be as effective.
