By ChrisAlienPublished: December 24, 2016

After what seems like an eternity of waiting, Fox have officially released the first Alien: Covenant trailer! Clocking in at just over 2 minutes, the trailer features loads upon loads of footage and some truly grotesque cut scenes. Everything from the Egg, Facehugger and yes, the ALIEN are back. Even a ship that looks remarkably like the Derelict from Alien is seen. 

We will be posting a thorough analysis as well as uploading a bunch of screenshots soon, so be sure to keep an eye out for those! Until then, enjoy:

The Alien: Romulus sequel is currently in development and cameras are set to roll by October, 2025! Be sure to bookmark the Alien: Romulus 2 Info Page for an up-to-date account of all available information, production updates and important details! You can also share any news & rumours we may have missed by starting your own discussion in our forums!

In addition to the upcoming Alien: Romulus sequel, we have the Alien: Earth TV series from Noah Hawley arriving this August and a rumoured Alien vs. Predator reboot in the works as well after it was revealed Weyland-Yutani play a key role in the upcoming Predator: Badlands movie! There's really never been a better time to be a fan of the Alien movies. Be sure to check out our image galleries for the latest images, posters, concept art and leaked materials for all these upcoming Alien projects!

Interesting I've replayed a few times now lol. If you pause at 1:33 you can see the girl shooting at what looks like a very young neomorph behind the door frame. Also, the Captain looks to get infected twice? Once with the thing floating into his ear and then the facehugger. I wonder how that works out for him.  ( Or should I say what comes out )

Unless there's some twist to the story, I assume the crashed ship is the one David and Shaw flew off in at the end of Prometheus. And I wonder if the cloaked figure in the preview is Shaw. Maybe she had to flee from David because he wanted Shaw as his first victim in his experiments.

Yes!!! That was a great Christmas present. It looks scary and action packed. That Alien in the shower definitely was the neomorph or some variation of the classic biomechanical Xeno. I think I saw a wider head/dome on him. It was really quick but I think that's what I saw. And his tail was different. The Xenos have a more prominent spike on the end. David is definitely gonna screw over Walter and give us the biomechanical xenomorph. I cannot wait for May 2017 ;)

Awesome :)  what an xmas treat!!!  

It looks like they've got the horror/tension on point!  I don't think I breathed for 2 minutes lol!  

Holloways tags, ship from Prom - must be!?  Daniels looked like she had a sense of recognition too when she saw the tags?!  Spores looked quite good and better than I'd have thought (reminded me of scarabs from Prom 1st draught); still no suits though people, tut tut ;) Also looks like David could be passing himself off as Walter - or perhaps part of a twist could be Walter  knowing more than at first meets the eye?  Daniels looked very good, as did the cast from what I saw.

Loved the aesthetic too and great music - spine tingling!

No engineers but we haven't sen the temples yet . . .

Only drawback is I feel they may have given 2 of the major scares away!  (but i'd wager most on here kind of knew about those 2 scenes anyways).

Thanks Ridley :) I'm off to annoy my girlfriend and watch it a few more times ha ha

My first thoughts...Where are the engineers? Why doesn't the planet look biomechanical or technical (like the juggernaut)? The trailer is intense but not that scary as I first thougt. The backburster scene was intense... Where are the ampules? I hope the engineers have an underground structure. That should have a huge scale.Why does Water just stands there when the captain gets facehugged? Does David influence/manipulate Walter? Or is he conviced of David thoughts? And where is David? Has he power of the engineer weapons on that planet? Probably yes. And how many people are on the Covenant?

I really enjoyed the trailer. I love the earthy tone that is given to the film. I love the look. It is also way early to know the full details of the plot and I am happy about that. We see things that take place but never given too much. YEt, there are so many questions to be answered. I am sure in about a month we will get a longer trailer that gives more plot points. I would imagine that Daniels and the crew are aware of the missing Prometheus ship or at least have heard the stories of what might have happened. The planet is beautiful but deadly and this perhaps might be the planet we first saw in Prometheus, just judging by the familiar scenes we saw with the drop ship flying through the valleys and what not.

 

This is good!

 Yea I think it's way too early to start criticizing the movie based on this 2 minutes of stitched together nonsense. Besides the way trailers are nowadays there my even be some misdirection and shots not included in the film.

The other thing is Alien was gory, that chest buster scene had like, buckets of blood shooting out all over the characters, a gruesome Kane Baby swimming in blood and flesh.

I'm sure there will be plenty of tension and creepiness to go around included with some action and some carnage. I am pumped for this, I have faith in Ridley Scott.

Where are David and Shaw? :0

... at the end of Prometheus, the juggernaut that has landed after the crash looks extremely huge... But in the trailer it looks so much smaller?? Why?

The trailer just showed that there are aliens in this film and that it will be bloody. But also the characters and a bit of the environment... but what really will happen or where David is and what he plans remains a secret... and how the xenomorph is made...

Forgive me for asking a stupid question, but those spores put me in the mind of poppy seed pods, does the black goo come from these bulbs? Through some kind of refinement/distillation process known only to the Engineers maybe?

In a few months or maybe sooner, we will get a trailer that delves into the plot but I doubt we will see Shaw and David fully in the trailers. They play a vital part in the story.

Upon further viewing, it would appear that the victim of the ear molesterer isn't David at all but some other bloke.

Releasing a trailer on Chrimbo day would insinuate that Ridley is sticking with the space jeebus theme.

That was worth the wait. Definitely a great Christmas present. I saw some people write they think the captain gets infected twice but that's really two different guys. The guy who gets the spore in his ear is the same one who is in the beginning of the trailer with the neomorph bursting out through his back. The captain gets the facehugged. I wonder if the spores create the neomorphs while the facehuggers create the animalistic Xenos. David emerging with that engineers cloak on makes me think he definitely has turned to the dark side even more then he was in Prometheus. I still think he's going to kill Walter to create the classic biomechanical Xenomorph. The shot of Fassbender upclose with the guy in the background sitting looks like David and Walter together in the same room. It could be a very important scene. The one that leads up to David turning Walter into our Xeno. The Alien that kills the guy in the shower is the animal Xeno. He's in the shadows but you can kinda tell he's not the biomechanical xenomorph. I can't wait to see this movie. It looks like it's going to be a crazy ride and Waterson and McBride are going to team up at some point. I could see that relationship being a key one as the chaos starts. I don't think McBride will make it out alive but I do think Waterson will. Overall I'm beyond excited for this. The music was also perfect for the trailer.

I made the mistake of being on here too much for Prometheus. When I watched it I knew of some of the particulars. It kind of ruined the surprise of the story. I will stay away from spoilers and too much info. I will wait for after the movie to dissect it. Just wondering if anyone else felt like this for Prometheus?

So how did this black goo get from the facility on LV 223 to the home world LV 369 ? If Engineers are ancient humans...where do real Aliens meet Engineers. If they created them... are they still Aliens and not just genetically created monsters?  The space jockey suit and helmet eventually molds into the Engineers body and DNA with the goo. Later they become eviloved.  Grown into the glowing flesh of the Juggernaut then becoming part of the ship it's self .  Existing in a Matrix Giger Tardis reality.  Many tunnels there lie in centers of worlds. Gone fully doomed space cadet!
