In possibly the most terrifying image to come from Alien: Covenant yet, an inhuman creature appears in the midst of this new group shot of the human cast. What foul deeds could this malevolent beast be plotting in its hea... Sorry, no, we're being informed that it's just James Franco, now officially confirmed as part of the movie, playing Captain Branson.

Rumoured for a while, but kept out of the marketing thus far for whatever reason (it's secretly a stealth, sci-fi sequel to Pineapple Express, given the presence of Danny McBride?), Franco's at the centre of an image called "The Last Supper", so is he Jesus? Probably not. See everyone give their best "cheese!" below.

Covenant, Ridley Scott's latest trip into the xenomorph universe, finds the crew of the eponymous colony ship arriving at what they hope is a bright new world, only to discover terror and death. The only person there – or so they think – is Michael Fassbender's David.

The film will be out on 19 May and we're promised more from the team this week.
