Javier Botet performed motion capture for Alien: Covenant? The last few days have seen a sleuth of new Alien: Covenant information come to light! We’ve had the fantastic new trailer and an information overload following the release of numerous set reports.
And we’re still getting more! Bloody Disgusting noticed an Instagram post from motion capture performer Javier Botet, confirming he worked on the film!
While Botet didn’t say straight out what motion capture performances he provided for Alien: Covenant, when asked by Alien vs. Predator Galaxy if he performed for the Alien, he replied with “more than that!” We pushed on, asking if that meant he also performed as the Neomorph? Botet didn’t reply but he liked the comment.
Javier Botet is well known for his motion caption work in the horror genre. He has done performances of monsters and creatures in films such as Crimson Peak, The Conjuring 2, the various [REC] films and Mama.

Wow, that's so cool.
And yeah, Javier is perfect for this. Literally my prayers have been answered getting someone like Javier in the suit. He was frickin creepy in Rec.
I think Javier's proportions are just great for the role. I think he looks just like Scott wanted for the Alien.

Can't wait for the behind the scenes stuff with Javier. Tom Woodruff is a talented man by any means but Botet in that suit is beyond fascinating.
I am truly excited about which other characters he did for the movie if any. I doubt it's the neomorph since that one is relatively small, but maybe we get to see an adult form. At least the on scene reports are telling us that we will be seeing a lot of varieties within the creatures in Covenant.

He acted in Alien then! I heard some stories about motion capture character but thought it was just a rumor.
Not a plain xeno role!
