Alien: Covenant - 12 Big Questions After The New Trailer 

8. Did We Just See Pretty Much Everyone Die?

The nature of this movie - and indeed the wider franchise - means that we really shouldn't be getting too attached to any of the characters. Sure, one, maybe two will survive to the end and potentially to the next film, but the majority are going to be Xenomorph chow.

This trailer certainly doesn't shy away from that, showing us what appears to be a few different character deaths. There's the backbuster scene, the ol' 'locked in the room with an alien creature' death, a big explosion that will probably claim at least one life, facehuggers, and a Neomorph on the prowl.

Basically, everyone dies, and it's so obvious that it's not even a spoiler.
