Amidst the promotional campaigns for The Bear, Dying for Sex and Adults, we can glimpse the heroes who will encounter the xenomorph.

Among them, an android named Wendy who has the soul and consciousness of a child but uses the body of an adult.

The character will be played by Sydney Chandler, she will face Timothy Olyphant. The actor is announced in the role of Wendy's mentor. The story will evolve entirely on Earth and should focus on the experiments of Weyland-Yutani Corporation on the robotics side. The Alien will still be a part of this story, as evidenced by the images revealed this February.
