Alien Movies in (Chronological) Order
1. AVP: Alien vs. Predator (2004)

The Xenomorph's story begins in the first crossover film, AVP: Alien vs. Predator. Set in 2004, this film directed by Paul W. S. Anderson brings to life the epic battle between two iconic species, first seen in a 1989 comic. Humans uncover that Predators (known as Yautja) have been visiting Earth for millennia, with ancient cults sacrificing themselves to the Xenomorph Queen's facehuggers to create adult Xenomorphs for the Predators to hunt. Unfortunately, the Predators' 2004 hunting trip takes a disastrous turn.
