Alien: Covenant - 12 Big Questions After The New Trailer 

11. What Happened To Shaw?

Although the film looks to tie itself closer to Alien in its extraterrestrial action, there are nods back to Prometheus in the trailer.

We see the ship that Shaw and David came to the planet on in that movie, and then Daniels stumbles across a set of dog tags that appear to have belonged to Dr Elizabeth Shaw.

We know that Michael Fassbander's David will be back for the movie, playing something of an antagonist role, but what about Rapace's Shaw? Evidently she made it to the planet like intended, but what happened to her after that? It's been reported she will be in the film, but only in a small role. Is there any chance she's still alive, or will we just see her in a video message, perhaps outlining what she discovered about the Engineers?
