With a prologue clip titled “The Last Supper”, this opening scene to Alien: Covenant literally sets the table for what’s to come in this sequel to Prometheus. Helmed by returning director Ridley Scott, Alien: Covenant continues to advance the Alien mythology that Prometheus expanded.

This is the studio’s official synopsis:

• 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.

Below are images from the upcoming sci-fi horror tentpole. It stars Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup, Danny McBride, Demián Bichir, Carmen Ejogo, Amy Seimetz, Jussie Smollett, Callie Hernandez, Nathaniel Dean, Alexander England, Benjamin Rigby, and James Franco.
