We recently shared some images of the Alien: Covenant spread in the newest issue of Empire Magazine and it included a nice long article and quite a few new stills from Alien: Covenant. With that issue officially hitting stores today, Empire has released three of those stills online.

The new stills include a look at Guy Pearce as a younger Weyland, the scene mentioned previously in the CinemaCon footage and the Neomorph after a kill. Beware spoilers.

    Second picture.
    These are not bombs.

    it seems like he is unleashing containers of black goo over something, i dont wanna know  the pictures are cool

    the one with the Neomorph is sick, very sexual and violent and morbid at the same time and the flesh is a nice contrast with the regular Aliens, love it, this movie is gonna be very dark and violent
    Who the hell are you quoting? And by containers you mean the urn shaped vases??

    Im hoping if there is a new trailer before may they wont have footage of the bombing scene. I really want to save that for the theater. I may avoid a new trailer all together, hard as that will be

    So the Neomorph can rap its tail around its victims? That first coil around the leg is too clean to be viscera, and the colors match. Creepy. I wonder if it will grow additionally when feeding, maybe see more spikes emerge or grow larger when it feeds. Most likely not, but man would that be scary.

    If you look at the chair where Weyland and David are talking. It has a very similar shape to what you guys call the scorpionaut or whatever. Its inverted with a circle in the middle. This could be the. Hint that the juggernaut and scorpio do actually connect.

    Looking good,especially the shot of David and the Urns.
    Those Engineers are buggered.

    Yeah, they're so f**ked.
    Spoiler
    Gotta wonder if Shaw played apart in this as well?

    Now it is more evident that the "Scorpionaut" is a device for the docking of the juggernaut. Look at the structure on the left:

    My strong suspicion is that Ridley now intends to deal directly with both the alien's creation and LV-426/the derelict in AC and future movies, and that he'll use the same pat explanation for both: "David Did It." I think that's tacky and silly and far too overt, the idea of some evil android creating a monster and seeding the ship a handful of years before Alien. I think it's a bad mistake.

    IMO all the explanation we ever needed for the alien or the derelict was in the original film and Prometheus. Ridley spent decades gabbing in print, commentary, interviews etc. saying flat-out that the alien was a bioweapon bred by the Engineers/jockeys that got out of control and contributed to wiping them out, much like it did the space jockey on LV-426. Prometheus backs all of this up onscreen by presenting another incident of widespread disaster that contributed to the same wipeout of the Engineer species; more bioweapons that were uncontrollable and helped kill them off. Everything Janek, etc. says in the film contributes to that same thesis Ridley has been pushing since the '70s. It was easy enough to connect the dot between what is uncovered in Prometheus back to events in Alien.

    But when Prometheus got a mixed reception and Ridley was out of ideas for the sequel, he moved to directly prequelizing the original film and changing it up - now we have this new latter-day twist with David, and it sounds a lot like he is going to say that David made it all happen, not the Engineers/space jockeys. I think they're fixing what wasn't broken, and breaking it. I just hope they leave room to say David merely copied the creature the Engineers already created. It's all so unnecessary, but for hardcore nerds who love fan service it'll be a squeefest.

    I agree..

    At this point there are three things that would make me very happy in order of importance to me.

    1) Make it obvious that the Xeno/Neo/Deacon type creatures are ancient and were known to the Engineers.  David is simply attempting to re-create some ancient soufflé.  Even better yet if it was an ancient creation designed to kill the Engineers.

    2) Give some answer to the motives of the Engineers.  It doesn't need to be Earth centric, but it would be interesting to know their motives behind seeding life and doing planetary scale "resets".   What are they trying to accomplish?  Are they trying to save their civilization by creating themselves?  In a way it makes sense that the sacrificial Engineer would be the most perfect example of an Engineer.

    3) Where did the goo come from?  Is this a creation of the Engineers, or from some beings higher up the ladder.  The writing on the urns is stylistically very different from the cuneiform type writings we see around the facility in Prometheus (giant head, sleep pod controls, doors)

    If David is trying to recreate an ancient monster, then the Space Jockey is irrelevant to this prequel series.  On the other hand, if Ridley is trying to tell us that David created the biomechanical Alien, then they will have to go back to LV-426. Otherwise that simple detail is going to become a plot hole.

    Honestly, I think it would be a big mistake to leave out the Engineers. They are by far the most interesting element in this prequel mythology.

    It appears to be a docking station after all. Good catch.

    Nice!  :)

    That shot of David bombing the engineers looks pretty awesome.

    This scene is going to be incredible, I wonder when it will arrive in the film!

    It looks utterly amazing!

    It seems that David is standing on the ship, not inside.
    "funny angle mate?" If he is standing on it and they fall from above him, does he have Mario Lakitu cloud dropping them for him?

    We don't know how the mechanism works? :) But you might be right about the angle.
    Its also the lighting, if he was on top then he would be in the light, the shadows show us he is inside a cargo bay most likely.

    But look at that city, looks huge, i thought it was just a yard, i see lots of buildings.

    funny, i actually concluded that indeed it's the scorpionaut ship too where the urns drop from, and wanted to be sure about it so taking some time to investigate, then came back to post and see somebody else posted the same :D

    but yes, it is definately the scorpionaut that drops it, and it's at the same exact moment. you can see the population flock towards the central opening. perhaps some sort of refuge place for them to think they're safe there?
