Alien: Romulus Fans Stunned by Navarro and Bjorn’s Shocking Fate!

The movie “Alien: Romulus” has been a massive success for the Alien franchise, yet it’s left some fans with unresolved questions that are equally intriguing. Some of these larger enigmas (such as the initial events at the Renaissance space station and the ultimate fate of the original Alien movie xenomorph) have been addressed through additional content like the Alien: Romulus prequel comic. As “Alien: Romulus” maintains its popularity on streaming services, viewers are noticing increasingly subtle aspects of the film.

In Alien: Romulus, a point that’s sparked curiosity among many keen-eyed spectators revolves around the endings of two significant characters in the movie.

Among the friends I traveled with on Rain Carradine’s Renisance station, it was Navarro (Aileen Wu) who met an unfortunate fate first. She was the skilled pilot, also adopted sister to Bjorn (Spike Fearn), a relative who caused trouble for my ex-boyfriend Tyler (Archie Renaux). A secret connection between them was that she was Kay’s (Isabela Merced) baby-daddy. Tragically, Navarro was the one who got infected by a facehugger and died when a Chestburster emerged from her body. Bjorn followed shortly after, attempting but failing to destroy the Chestburster while it was in its cocooned stage, transforming into a xenomorph drone. Their untimely deaths occurred on the Remus side of Renaissance Station, before we even made it to the Romulus side. However, once we did, we stumbled upon an alarming discovery: a hive of xenomorphs had taken residence deep within the station’s interior. Shockingly, the hive displayed Navarro and Bjorn’s remains as decorations.

Why Are Navarro & Bjorn’s Bodies in the Xenomorph Hive?

Enthusiasts of the Alien series have been passionately discussing this particular point in the franchise’s online forums. The director of Alien: Romulus, Fede Álavarez, was known for meticulously incorporating Easter eggs from throughout the Alien saga into his film. It’s unlikely that a detail like this was an accident on set. A practical joke among the cast is one possibility: in an earlier sequence of Alien: Romulas, Álvarez himself made a cameo as an Easter egg, appearing as a corpse with a shattered skull, hanging in a mess of cables within the room that gets invaded by facehuggers. In other words, pretending to be dead was a common occurrence during the filming of Alien: Romulus.

The simplest solution leans towards a grim perspective: The xenomorph hive survives by consuming food, but finding sustenance is challenging on an abandoned space station. Known for their thrifty habits, xenomorphs will utilize any biological matter available. Unfortunately for Navarro and Bjorn, their unfortunate journey to Renaissance Station was followed by the horrifying ordeal of nearly becoming a xenomorph’s meal.

Alien: Romulus is now streaming on Hulu-DIsney+.
