What was Prometheus all about?
What can we expect from Alien: Covenant?
Prometheustoyed with weighty themes, yet left plenty of specifics frustratingly obscure.
What happened on the planetoid LV-223 that led all those Engineers to die in a heap?
Who made the black goo?
So how can we square all this in the context ofPrometheusandAlien: Covenant?
These show a grey, body-strewn landscape recall the ash-covered victims of Pompeii, frozen in their death throes.
The bodies are clearly of engineers, and some seemed to be locked in combat.
Adding a bit of northern European mythology to this already busy stew doesnt seem too much of a stretch.
Alien: Covenantis out in UK cinemas on the 4th August 2017.
