Aliens star Paul Reiser has made a surprising return to the sci-fi franchise in a new Marvel What If…? comic series. The actor, known for his role in Stranger Things, has revisited his character Carter Burke, the despised antagonist from the Alien movie series.
In the original films, the human characters often posed a significant threat alongside the Xenomorph creatures. Burke, in particular, endangered the space crew in Aliens by attempting to bring the deadly entity to Earth. While his fate was left ambiguous in the movie, a deleted scene showed him facing a gruesome demise at the hands of a chest-burster.
