According toComicBook, the footage begins on the spaceship where two young girls discover a body, meanwhile, a man is elsewhere on the ship surrounded by encased moving samples. The man then has a button pushed on his neck, causing him to reboot and his eyes to roll back, whilst aliens are hatching in front of him and dropping into the water at his feet.
In true Alien fashion, creatures start jumping from the water and cling to the crew’s faces, they manage to escape to another room but the aliens break through.
The clip ends with an unwell-looking character holding her chest in pain until she collapses and convulses until an alien bursts out of their chest. The action causes the ship to stir out of control and crash into another nearby spacecraft.Collider, who was also in attendance, called the footage “intense and jaw-dropping” whilstVarietydepicted “bone cracking” and “shredding human chests.” The clip was shown exclusively at CinemaCon, and was introduced via a recorded message from director Fede Alvarez and producer Ridley Scott, who directed the first movie in the beloved series.
