Even star Michael Fassbender has promised the film will be "super scary"; here returning alongside Prometheus cast members Noomi Rapace and Guy Pearce, alongside new faces: Fantastic Beasts` Katherine Waterston, Demian Bichir, Billy Crudup, and Danny McBride.
The film sees the crew of the colony ship Covenant discover what they believe to be an uncharted paradise while journeying to a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy; but they soon come to understand this new world is actually a dark, threatening place, inhabited only by the `synthetic` David (Fassbender), a survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition.
James Franco has also been revealed to have a minor role in the film, though reports suggest he`ll only be in ten minutes or so of the final cut.
