In the Alien series, the corporation Weyland-Yutani has consistently played a sinister role, first introduced as “the Company” in Ridley Scott’s 1979 film. While the name Weyland-Yutani appears on monitors later in the movie, it was this company that instructed the spaceship Nostromo to venture to LV-426 for Xenomorph collection, a mission deemed of highest priority. The man behind Weyland-Yutani, Peter Weyland, is portrayed by Guy Pearce in Prometheus. However, the identity of Yutani remains a mystery until Alien: Earth where we finally encounter Ms. Yutani, played by Sandra Yi Sencindiver.
In the series Alien: Earth, creator Noah Hawley introduces us to Weyland-Yutani’s face in the early 22nd century. At this point, she doesn’t have a given name (at least not publicly). Her official description paints her as a powerful woman, who owns about a fifth of Earth and much more in space. It was her grandmother who dispatched the USCSS Maginot. Thus, Weyland-Yutani views the contents of the ship not just as property, but as part of her legacy. In this era, Weyland-Yutani is one of the five corporations that hold sway over Earth. They control nearly everything, including synthetic beings. These Five entities serve as replacement governments in this time period. One of its major adversaries is Prodigy, a colossal corporation helmed by the prodigious Boy Kavalier.
By the year 2120, as depicted in Alien: Earth, Weyland-Yutani is a newly established global force. This conglomerate came into existence when the Weyland Corporation acquired the Yutani Corporation in the year 2099 following an intense bidding war. In a few brief scenes in Alien: Earth, we find Yutani located in a gleaming skyscraper, conversing with her cyborg employee Morrow (played by Babou Ceesay), the lone survivor of the Maginot. During their conversation, Morrow fails to recognize the Yutani he knew previously. She clarifies that the Yutani he remembers was his grandmother, as his space mission had taken off 65 years prior. However, she emphasizes that despite the passage of time, he remains bound by contract to Yutani, making her his superior. She also instructs him to recover the missing alien specimens, no matter the cost.
Earth and Alien, with Sandra Yi Sencindiver portraying her. Although we’ve only seen limited appearances of this character in Alien: Earth, she is known for being a powerful, ruthless, and glamorous CEO who will go to great lengths to obtain the deadly Xenomorph alien species.
Alien: Earth releases new episodes every Tuesday on FX and FX on Hulu.
