When asked if Ripley could be integrated into Romulus’ storyline, the filmmaker said: “I wouldn’t say it’s impossible because no one knows for sure what happened in the years when she drifted away. What happened.
He added: “I can’t say more. I think for legal reasons I can’t say more. I would say it’s not impossible. I think it’s entirely possible that it could be part of the story in some way.
