A new interview with Danny McBride has revealed that the crew of the USCSS Covenant is on a Colonization mission, not a rescue mission for the Prometheus. McBride also revealed that there will be some gun-wielding on-board the deep space Colony vessel:
McBride said that he can’t reveal much about the character he plays in the film, except that he is the pilot of the Covenant, a spaceship that is on a colonization mission.
“I spent the past few months running around with aliens and shotguns and spaceships,” he said with a grin.
