A New Ripley
Katherine Waterston may have played a meek girl in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, but she'll be a classic Ridley Scott badass female lead in Alien: Covenant!

New Xenomorphs
Someone is going to need to explain to us what "Xenomorph Spawns" are - but they certainly sound terrifying.
prevnextThe first #AlienCovenant footage is intense as hell. Lots of xenomorph spawns. Katherine Waterston and Amy Seimetz (!) are great.
