Today brings much news from Alien: Covenant, and it’s all coming from the ever vigilant folks over at AVP Galaxy! First up they have a bunch of new leaked set images that are as spoilerific as they come, and they’re also reporting that James Franco is a part of the interstellar proceedings.

According to AVP Galaxy, Franco will be appearing in Alien: Covenant as Branson, the captain of the Covenant and husband of Katherine Waterson’s Daniels. Franco’s appearance in Alien: Covenant will only be brief, though. He appears in the first ten minutes or so of the film with later small appearances. Franco will also be reprising the role as Branson in some of the viral footage that has been shot for Alien: Covenant.

Look for the film in theaters on May 19th!

Alien Covenant

The cast includes Michael Fassbender, Noomi Rapace, Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup, Benjamin Rigby, Demian Bichir, Danny McBride, Jussie Smollett, Amy Seimetz, Carmen Ejogo, Guy Pearce, and Callie Hernandez.

Specific plot details for the new film are being closely guarded; but it is believed to follow the crew of the colony ship Covenant, bound for a remote planet, who discover what they believe is an uncharted paradise but is, in fact, a dark, dangerous world, the only inhabitant of which is David (Fassbender), the “synthetic” and survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition.
