10 Upcoming Movie Twists Everyone's (Probably) Already Guessed

10. The Original Xenomorph Survived - Alien: Romulus

The rumour mill has been working overtime for Alien: Romulus, which we know will be set between the first two Alien movies, and center around a group of young colonists who are attacked by a Xenomorph while scavenging a derelict space station.

Once the teaser trailer dropped, eagle-eyed fans pointed out that the brief glimpses of the Xenomorph look incredibly similar to the original "Big Chap" Xenomorph design, with some suggesting that Romulus could in fact reveal that the Xeno from the original Alien somehow survived being jettisoned into space by Ripley (Sigourney Weaver).

It sounds ridiculous and fan-serving, but consider that some social media versions of the teaser opened with a few extra blink-and-you'll-miss-it shots, one of which appears to show scientists huddled around a Xeno's remains on a stretcher, and it becomes much easier to believe.

In a franchise that seems as bereft of good original ideas as Alien, why not just undo the ending of the original movie? It makes a bewildering amount of sense.
