Alien: Romulus, Fans Got It! Director Confirms Dark Theory About Film
Alien: Romulus, the highly anticipated new chapter of the iconic sci-fi saga, has finally made its debut in Italian cinemas. Directed by the talented Fede Álvarez, the film has quickly garnered praise from both fans and critics alike. As the latest installment in the Alien franchise, it has reignited discussions and sparked online debates, particularly around some unexpected revelations in the storyline.
The Dark Theory Surrounding Kay's Child
One of the most intriguing aspects of Alien: Romulus that has captured the attention of fans is the mysterious identity of the father of the child carried by Kay, portrayed by Isabela Merced. Although the film provides some insight into Kay's situation early on, the identity of the father is glossed over when Kay dismissively refers to him as "an idiot," seemingly a throwaway detail. However, this seemingly minor point has led to a wave of speculation among fans.
A Controversial Scene Sparks Speculation
During the course of the film, a tender moment between Kay and her cousin Bjorn, played by Spike Fearn, has fueled a dark fan theory. In a key scene just before Bjorn's tragic death, he and Kay share an intimate moment that has left many viewers questioning their relationship.
One Reddit user commented: “I watched the movie yesterday in IMAX and I loved it! Amazing experience, amazing movie. Just before Bjorn dies, he and Kay share a very intimate touching moment. Am I the only one who thought Bjorn was the ‘idiot’ who got her pregnant?”
Director Fede Álvarez Confirms Fan Theory
Surprisingly, this theory was seemingly confirmed by none other than the film's director, Fede Álvarez. A Reddit user under the name “fedalvar” replied: “Yes, it is. Good intuition!” This revelation sent shockwaves through the fan community, as it was later revealed that this account belonged to Álvarez himself. Initially, the director was even banned by the moderators who mistook him for a fake profile.
