I'll squash this now. It's not Big Chap.

What makes you so sure?

I've seen the movie a few times.

Would you say from what you saw in person this is a new interpretation of the dome, or is it the photo which is making it look quite unique?

Agreeing with @426Buddy it looks a bit strange.

I personally think it looks great, good usage of the biomechanical aspect

How did you see the movie?

The dome design is new. I bet we get a clearer look in a new trailer.

I'm connected with people who worked on the film and also marketing folks.

I helped with some ALIEN Day stuff.

Absolutely love the xeno in this pic; there's a possibility it's damaged/injured, but I'm *SO* hoping this is a mid-moult xeno between the 'big chap/runner stage', as per Alien/Alien 3, and the 'warrior' stage from Aliens, and if so, I love that it doesn't come off in a single piece, but continues to undergo metamorphosis even as an adult.. Hope this is the case but either way this shot is beautiful!

Cuz teenagers die in most horror movies.

Also, loving the seeming translucency of the Alien as presented in that still. Not sure if it's just a trick of the light, or if there really is a degree of translucency to this new Alien, but it looks great either way.

[Mike’s Monsters]

There is some seriously fun light-play in this one. The translucency is very present.

Most excellent.

Adjusting to dying youths, the boy on The Voyage of the Demeter (2023) really took me aback.

This new image reminds me of when the alien confronted Lambert.

The xenomorph actually looks vicious again.

Honestly I'm not digging the design of the dome/cowl from this shot alone. I know Mike said its not a good look at it so I'll reserve judgement. My heart did sink a little finding out they re-designed the dome.

The translucency is pretty cool though.

Making Xenos great again. XD
