Alien: Covenant Trailer Breakdown: 25 Things You Must See

Alien Covenant Demian Bichir
Fox

It's an impressive accomplishment to make wheat of all things seem sinister and foreboding. As the crew touches down on the planet, Demián Bichir notes that there's wheat growing, and asks why there would be human vegetation so far from Earth.

Daniels follows up with the most important question: "Who planted it?" The odds are obviously on Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace), as it's possible she has been hiding out on the planet for some time...somewhere. Or perhaps, for some nefarious reason, David has something to do with this.
