The Rumour: The trailers have only shown the movie's first act, and though it initially seems like the film will focus on the crew of the Covenant (hence the title), the core story does in fact revolve around Elizabeth Shaw in a surprise twist.

How Likely Is It?: Just no. Firstly, the movie's called Covenant so for them to be such a small part of it would be ridiculous.

Secondly, so much footage has been shown off that it's extremely difficult to believe it could all be crammed into 30 or 40 minutes, and finally, if Noomi Rapace had truly been on-set for months, it definitely would've leaked out by now.

If Ridley Scott pulled this off, it would be an impressive act of deception, but the realities of film production and marketing make it immensely unlikely. No way. 1/10
