And, later this year, yet another Weyland-Yutani synth will cross over into Alien’s sometimes sibling franchise, Predator, when Elle Fanning appears as Thia in the upcoming film Predator: Badlands. But with the release of Alien: Earth, the entire robot game of the Alien canon has been changed. Spoilers ahead for Alien: Earth Episodes 1 and 2. Early trailers made us think that Morrow (Babou Ceesay), a crew member on the crashed ship, the Maginot, was perhaps a classic Weyland-Yutani Synth. Alien: Earth streams on Hulu.
