One of the movie franchises that continues to bring horror to the sci-fi fans, will do it again this year. Alien: Covenant, the second in the prequels to the overall Alien series, will be released on May 19, 2017. Unfortunately, there won’t be Colonial Marines in this movie bringing their M41A Pulse Rifle MK2 which has an airsoft version.

Written by John Logan and directed by Ridley Scott, Alien: Covenant follows the first prequel, Prometheus, in which the Walter, a rebuild of the android David that survived in the Prometheus Expedition is aboard the colony ship called the Covenant on its way to the other side of the galaxy in the year 2014. They landed on a remote planet which they thought to be “uncharted paradise” but was a dark and dangerous world with the synthetic David 8 from Prometheus and of course, the creatures that will be their worst nightmare as inhabitants.

For this movie, the cast is comprised of Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup, Danny McBride, Demián Bichir, Carmen Ejogo, Amy Seimetz, Jussie Smollett, Callie Hernandez, Nathaniel Dean, Alexander England and Benjamin Rigby. Noomi Rapace will reprise her role as Dr. Elizabeth Shaw and the only human survivor of the Prometheus Expedition.

Previously, a posted was release showing the word “Run”, but yesterday, they released a posted with the word “Hide” showing a facehugger head and the release date of 19 May (12 May for the UK):

Today, a second trailer will be released by 20th Century Fox, the distributor of the film and also the production company together with Scott Free Productions. Optimus Prime would probably post news of the second trailer after he gets to watch it.

You probably, as an airsofter, would want to know what firearms are going to be used in the Alien: Covenant. So far, IMFDB.org identified two so far: the Thales F90, and an AR-15 and their entry will be updated if more information comes in.
