10 Predictions For 2017's Most Iconic Movie Deaths

7. The Protomorph - Alien: Covenant

There are few screen villains more iconic and unforgettable than the Xenomorph. Ridley Scott's new Alien movie sees Daniels (Katherine Waterston) and the Covenant's crew facing off against a new breed of alien creatures, including this primitive version of the Xenomorph known as the Protomorph.

With a more muscular design than the popular conception of the creature, it'll be fun to see how its viciousness compares to previous iterations, and moreover, how the survivors, whoever they are, actually manage to kill it.

Recent trailers seem to suggest the movie ends with Daniels and pilot Tennessee (Danny McBride) making a hurried escape from the Engineer homeworld with the Protomorph clinging to the ship, and the giant weapon Daniels is holding (possibly a grenade launcher?) could be their key to victory.

Just please don't blow it out of the airlock again. It's getting old.
