The production team didn’t want to recreate the hybrid between Alien and Human with special effects. To transfer it to real life they have an interpretation Robert Bobroczkya basketball player of Romanian origin who is 2.31 meters tall. Its appearance, thin and with long arms, is perfect for conveying the image of a humanoid enemy.
In ‘Alien Romulus’ he took on the role of ‘The Descendant’, the child who was suddenly born from Kay’s womb (Isabel Merced). The young woman injected herself with a dose made at the station by combining the genetics of humans and aliens. What they think is the “perfect person” turns out to be an abomination that almost kills the protagonist, Rain (Cailee Spaeny).
