With a box office haul of $350 million worldwide and widespread acclaim, 2024's 'Alien: Romulus' was considered a strong return to form for the sci-fi movie series (soon adding a TV show), but one crucial element bothered a lot of people: Ian Holm's return 'thanks' to a combination of puppetry and CGI.
For a movie that looks so remarkably good – from the oppressive, classical set design to the astounding lighting work – Ash's (Rook this time around) uncanny comeback was a noticeable exception. Since his presence can be felt throughout most of the movie, it tarnished the experience for many fans. However, it seems that the studio and the filmmakers were listening to the feedback and have made some key changes for the home release.
