Alien: Covenant - 12 Big Questions After The New Trailer 

3. How Many Aliens Are There?

What's interesting about this trailer is that it doesn't just show off one alien, but at least two of them. There's at least one Neomorph set to terrorise the crew, and then right at the end a Xenomorph appears to take them on as well.

It's one of the big differences to the original Alien, which obviously was singular, and makes me wonder just how many aliens we might see in this movie. Is there going to be one Neomorph and one Xenomorph (or Protomorph, Ultramorph, or whatever it is we're calling it, but Xeno- is easier)?

Could we have more Neos, because of those spores, and then one Xenomorph as the Big Bad? Or might we get a whole load of them as well?
