'Alien: Covenant' Trailer: The Scariest Space Monsters Are Back for 'Prometheus' Sequel

Alien: Covenant, its new trailer confirms, will be terrifying, steeped in mythology and xenozoology, and filled with a pleasantly surprising amount of Danny McBride. The franchise's sixth film's plot details the "first ever large-scale colonization mission," comprised of a bunch of couples—and Michael Fassbender's creepy Prometheus cypher—arriving on the good ship Covenant.

Also, as with Prometheus in 2012, a variety of mysterious structures and caverns and signs and creatures are promised. The money shot is the full-frontal appearance of Alien's No. 1 extraterrestrial form, the xenomorph. And the tagline? “The path to paradise begins in hell."
