It seems that Elizabeth Shaw will be killed by the Xenomorph crashing the ship onto another world with David as the only survivor. It shall be the place where the colony ship Covenant and its crew will find him. Unbeknownst to them, the planet is also where the Xenomorph crash landed with Prometheus, and that is where the suspense and excitement shall begin.
Ridley Scott also confirmed that the only actor that has been confirmed so far is Michael Fassbender and that they are still casting the main roles. It would be interesting who would be the main protagonist in “Alien: Covenant” but it is likely to be another female actress.
“Alien: Covenant” is to be written by Jack Paglen, Michael Green, and John Logan.
Meanwhile, Janty Yates, the award-winning costume designer, in an interview, said that “Alien: Covenant” is actually set 10 years in the future beyond “Prometheus.”
The timeline of “Prometheus” was set in the last week of 2093, which means that it took place 28 years before the first sci-fi horror film shown in 1979 starring Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley.
With the 10-year time jump in the sequel, it means that “Alien: Covenant,” will just be 18 years away from the events of “Alien.”
