There’s some incredible world-building in those movies, and Michael Fassbender isunbelievablein them.

Ridley Scott established beautiful philosophical and existential narratives, and there’s still so much room to explore more.

It was certainlyan interesting choice to see Holm on screen again.

Given thatRomulusis much closer toAlienchronologically, it seems like having the Ash/Rook model was the best bet.

Still, I can’t help but hope we haven’t seen the last of Fassbender or David.
