The Facehugger Is Back In Scary New Alien: Covenant Clip

Alien: Covenant is now playing in international theaters and hits US screens in a week's time. A scary new clip has been released, and it shows an encounter with one of the franchise's most iconic creatures--the facehugger. Check it out below:

This latest video follows two intense clips that were released last week--you can watch them both here.

Alien: Covenant stars Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, Danny McBride, and Demian Bichir. You can read GameSpot’s review here--reviewer Eddie Makuch said it is "a fun movie that has a number of standout scenes. It is a notable improvement over Prometheus, but it runs the risk of feeling too familiar and formulaic overall."

Earlier this week, director Ridley Scott revealed that a sequel to Covenant will start shooting next year. "We're writing [a sequel] now, as we speak," he said. "I'll be filming that within 14 months."

Scott has previously spoken about his desire to keep making Alien movies. In March, he said, "If you really want a franchise, I can keep cranking it for another six. I'm not going to close it down again. No way."
