20th Century Fox has unveiled the first trailer for director Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant, and it is downright terrifying. While the filmmaker originally intended for his Prometheus follow-up to focus on the further adventures of Noomi Rapace’s Elizabeth and Michael Fassbender’s David, he subsequently opted to go a different direction. Covenant finds Fassbender reprising his role as the android who is now the sole inhabitant of an “uncharted paradise” which is visited by the crew of the colony ship Covenant.
Alien: Covenant may pick up a few of Prometheus‘ more successful plot threads, but the time jump and the almost entirely new cast suggest that this is something of a soft reboot, something that everyone who skipped the previous film or forgot about entirely can jump into without any issues. While Michael Fassbender‘s morally ambiguous android David is back, the crew of the colony ship Covenant are newcomers to the series, with Katherine Waterston, Danny McBride, Demián Bichir, Billy Crudup, Amy Seimetz, and apparently James Franco all lining up for the Xenomorph slaughter. Fassbender pulls double duty in the film, also playing a second android named Walter.
