A later NASA mission will attempt to collect the rover's samples and bring them to Earth for closer analysis in laboratory conditions.

Damn I didn't expect thats. Sounds cool as hell, hope they manage it.

I don’t. I mean, do you want a sci-fi horror movie? Because this is how a sci-fi horror movie starts.

The "fi" being the important part here.

Film 1 is the crew desperately trying to make it home in the prologue and dying, then the alien mind control worms slowly take over a NASA research facility until it's finally eradicated in the closing scene, with Sigourney Weaver the lone human survivor. But if you wait until after the credits, you get a 5-second teaser of a single worm wriggling out through a crack in the side of the facility.
