The ‘Alien: Covenant’ poster brings back a famous face

The very first poster for Alien: Covenant has arrived and it sure looks familiar. The film was set to hit cinemas next August, but according to a number of online outlets it looks like 20th Century Fox have brought the release forward by three months to May 19th, 2017 Stateside.

The film, directed by Ridley Scott, is the second chapter in the prequel trilogy which started with Prometheus, and sees Michael Fassbender return as David as well as a new android named Walter, along with Katherine Waterston, Danny McBride, Demián Bichir, Jussie Smolett, Amy Seimetz, Carmen Ejogo, Callie Hernandez, and Billy Crudup. We are also expecting to see Noomi Rapace pop up as Dr. Elizabeth Shaw once more.

We’ve not had a definitive date for the UK release as yet, but we’ll keep you updated! Here’s that poster.
