AvPGalaxy Exclusive: James Franco To Appear in Alien: Covenant!

[Corporal Hicks]

He may have escaped fighting the Predator, but James Franco hasn’t been able to avoid the Alien! Alien vs. Predator Galaxy can exclusively reveal that James Franco will be making an appearance in Alien: Covenant.

We reported back in July that his agency was pushing hard for James Franco to be cast as McKenna, the lead role in The Predator. Franco apparently passed on that role to appear in a different science fiction film called Kin. That hasn’t stopped Franco from appearing alongside his long-time collaborator, Danny McBride, as a member of the crew of the Covenant though!

James Franco will be appearing in Alien: Covenant as Branson, the captain of the Covenant.

Franco will be appearing in Alien: Covenant as Branson, the captain of the Covenant and husband of Katherine Waterson’ Daniels. Franco’s appearance in Alien: Covenant will only be brief, though. He appears in the first ten minutes or so of the film with later small appearances.

Franco will also be reprising the role as Branson in some of the viral footage that has been shot for Alien: Covenant.

Nice!! as always Hicks!

[Corporal Hicks]

I know I've been teasing you guys about this since the end of November so enjoy it.

Good actor ! HYPE

[Necronomicon II]

I'm thankful it's a minor role lol Though to be honest I haven't seen him in a serious film before (127 Hours, for example, was critically acclaimed) so, I know he can act.

He'll die horribly, that's for sure.

Um, ok, can't say that I'm thrilled, but as long as it isn't a distracting inclusion that takes you out of the movie, it would of been weird have he of been cast in The Predator thus appearing in both movies as different characters, it would be like when Bill Paxton appeared as Private Hudson in Aliens and as Detective Jerry Lambert in Predator 2.

Hahaha, The Predator's sloppy seconds

[Enoch]

I think the acting in this one is going to be very fine...

I m still worried about the overall story.

[Johnny Handsome]

We barely escaped him in The Predator... I feel sorry for you guys

[Pvt. Himmel]

So he wouldn't by any chance be Ripley's father, or has that been debunked??

[Enoch]

Debunked!!!

Connection to Ripley is not literal one
Thats what I heard.
