Alien: Covenant will be released in the UK on 12 May.
Yet, this latest trailer puts the full goods on display, ending in a full-blown Xenomorph attack on one of the Covenant crew’s ships – with the creature finding a use for its sledgehammer-shaped head by smashing it repeatedly into its glass windows.
Alien: Covenant’s marketing has so far played it pretty coy with the impending terrors to be unleashed on audiences, relying on the traditional facehugger attack and a few brief glimpses of its full-grown iteration.
A short prologue to the film also introduced James Franco’s character, Captain Branson, though he’s only believed to be in about ten minutes of the film.
