Alien: Covenant Trailer - 10 Things You Probably Missed

3. That Mummified Corpse

There's a shot near the end of the trailer where a Xenomorph can be seen ready to pounce on a man below him, but eagle-eyed audiences may have also noticed something even stranger in front of him: a white corpse with its chest cavity exposed.

It seems most likely that this sequence takes place in David's lab, and fans have theorised the body could either be a chest-bursted Elizabeth Shaw or Billy Crudup or, more likely, an Engineer who David has experimented upon.

That the body also resembles a preserved, mummified corpse only makes it all that much more disturbing.
