Alien: Covenant photo shows off the new planet
Last night, 20th Century Fox released the Alien: Covenant prologue, a four-minute introduction to the crew of the Covenant, a colonization ship on its way to a remote planet to form a new human settlement. Now, Empire has released a new photo showing the crew as they disembark onto a lush new planet… though not the one they had intended to go to. Check out the new Alien: Covenant photo in the gallery below!

The magazine confirms that the planet seen in the photo is a detour from their actual destination planet, which they visit as the result of a distress beacon.
“What’s great about this story is the characters are so different,” says star Michael Fassbender. “They’re not just filling out a spaceship, their characters have been thought about. It harks back to those really cool characters in the original ‘Alien,’ where there are great relationships going on outside of the [alien].”
Ridley Scott returns to the universe he created with Alien: Covenant, a new chapter in his groundbreaking Alien franchise. The crew of the colony ship Covenant, bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world. When they uncover a threat beyond their imagination, they must attempt a harrowing escape.
