Sort of. At some point it was implied that a lab rat was left uncared for and abandoned within a space station.

In addition to the lab rats in small cages, there was a bird in a cage too small to fly in. Not sure if it was real. Neither birds or rats are mentioned on Humane Hollywood.

The iconic face huggers could be interpreted as spiders as they are shown way more frequently than in previous installments. In several scenes they are quickly crawling across the grounds while chasing the group.

[SPOILERS] Similar to the original Alien movie, there’s a scene in Romulus where a newborn Xenomorph bursts through a person’s chest. Near the end of the film, a woman gives birth to a giant egg, which hatches a giant, terrifying humanoid creature.

Most notably when minor characters get attacked by facehuggers. For a facehugger to put the alien inside them, they must choke the victim with the tail and tightly grip on the victim, supplementing breathing for the host while it does its thing.

With the exception of a couple of sole survivors, most people do not make it out of movies set within the Alien franchise and they are known for having a high fatality rate/two/three/one/survivor(s) to remain.

Andy is definitely coded as being neurodivergent in some way and displays fine motor function difficulties, tics, hyperfixations, and a speech impediment. I found a lot of his storyline triggering, from the anti-autistic rhetoric used by the characters bulling him to the way he’s “fixed”.

All the characters are tangentially or outright related.
Raine/Andy - siblings
Raine/tyler - exes
Tyler/kay - siblings
Tyler/kay/bjorn - cousins
Bjorn/navaro - couple

Spoilers. Tyler has a big reaction when he believes Kay has died.
And Kay has a reaction when Tyler does die

Nearly 30 mins in, Kay (girl with curly black hair) runs to the toilet and very graphically throws up, just after they land the “W” shaped thing in the hangar.

Two scenes of androids spitting up white fluid (spoilers!) - when they first revive “Rook” (acid-damaged droid on ship) and late in the film when Rain finds Andy after he is attacked by the “Offspring”.

For those averse to “mouth stuff” in general, the bits in the trailer:
When the face huggers first attack, one of them waggles its proboscis in one of the guys’ faces while he fights it off.
When they pull the face hugger off Navarro (Asian girl)’s face, there is a big close-up of its lengthy proboscis being pulled out of her throat. Yuck!

One of the main characters is heavily coded as neurodivergent / autistic. He displays tics, speech difficulties, communication difficulties, hyperfixations, etc. A lot of the bullying that other characters direct at him is anti-autism rhetoric. I found it upsetting and triggering to watch.

No, but as a warning, the synthetic character can easily be misinterpreted as being autistic or seem to be autistic-coded. He is not, it’s a flaw with his brain chip, but be prepared.

No, but the subtext is there, and I personally was definitely thinking about abortion during. At one point in the movie, a male character stick an electric rod into an egg that looks an awful lot like a vagina, with intent to kill the thing inside.
(SPOILERS) Also, a baby is literally killed at the end of the movie, though it resembles an adult at that point in time and is hostile and dangerous.

The android character does not actually have autism or any other neurological disorder. However, some may find his mannerisms and behavior relatable, and he is ridiculed by others in the group for being different from them, and is said to not have feelings. This made me (an autistic person) upset.
