This Latest ALIEN: COVENANT Promotional Image Might Just Contain A Massive Plot SPOILER

Is 20th Century Fox determined to spoil every single aspect of Ridley Scott's Alien: Covenant prior to its release? This new promo image could well be misdirection, but if not, you've been warned.

The general consensus seems to be that movie trailers spoil far to many elements of the plot these days, but Fox may have taken things to a whole new level with their latest bit of Alien: Covenant marketing.

On the heels of a new trailer which strongly hinted at the fate of Prometheus survivor Elizabeth Shaw, the film's official Twitter account has shared the following image, which appears to be an x-ray of Katherine Waterson's lead character with a damn alien sitting in her chest, waiting to burst into the world.

There's always a chance this is just for effect and things won't actually play out this way in the movie, but honestly, we wouldn't be surprised. What do you guys think? Sound off below.

“Bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, the crew of the colony ship Covenant discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world — whose sole inhabitant is the ‘synthetic’ David (Michael Fassbender), survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition.”

Alien: Covenant stars Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, Demien Bichir and Danny McBride, and is set to hit theaters on August 4, 2017.

@RorMachine - I don't mean to sound like a dick, but it's Fox that's releasing this, not Paramount.

A fully developed alien would not be in her body like that.

Spoiler? The biggest spoiler for me was the previous movie, "Prometheus". That movie was so bad, that it spoiled any desire I had to watch any sequels.

I to don't think this spoils anything. It's a metaphor for we can all become one.

Creepy image with a potentially more creepy outcome.

I don't see how things have been spoiled yet though.

Yeah it could be misdirection or just an attempt to unsettle, but the fact that they specifically name the character as Daniels is odd.

Fake news from Ridley Scott.

@GeneralZod - Marketing companies usually have final say-so over how the films are marketed. Directors rarely have any control over trailers, posters, and other marketing schemes.

I wish they did.

Why does her face look so cartoonish? Is she Casper's sister? It's clear that Covenant is going to be an unintentional comedy like Prometheus was.

@Skrull - Cause that image is entirely wrong, putting regular eyes in a [frick]ing x-ray, lol.

BTW I really liked Prometheus, don't judge me.

Is Covenant not about couples? Has it been confirmed who Daniels other half is? Maybe Daniels is her husband.

This film is either going to make up for Prometheus or destroy the franchise (further muddling the genesis/evolution of xenomorphs). A huge gamble for Ridley and Fox.

I haven't seen it yet...so no opinion yey. It will get my $$$ for sure. I can't wait to see it. I love Prometheus. The kids and I have been watching the other Alien films over the last few weeks. Super stoked to see the next instalment.
