Some die-hard Disney fans might remember when Disney World decided it would be a great idea to make an Alien-themed ride in Magic Kingdom. Well, as many know, the encounter with a Xenomorph was not a success for the family-friendly theme park company. However, now that Disney owns Hulu and has successfully produced another film in the world of facehuggers and Xenomorphs (Alien: Romulus), the company is ready for another hit of Ridley Scott’s world of intergalactic terror. In a new mega-teaser for Disney+ and Hulu’s upcoming series releases, the next big installment in the Alien saga, Alien: Earth, showed off some of the scares coming to audiences.
Fans of Scott’s iconic sci-fi world are bursting with excitement over the fact that director Noah Hawley is taking Xenomorphs to uncharted territory: Earth. The official plot synopsis details a classic Alien set-up: “When a mysterious space vessel crash-lands on Earth, a young woman and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers make a fateful discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet’s greatest threat.” This is what fans have been dreaming, and terrified, of since the original films release in 1979. The question of what would happen if a Xenomorph somehow got to Earth is finally about to be explored.
