Audi Lunar Quattro to be Featured in Alien: Covenant

Rover gets supporting role in sci-fi saga's latest installment



The scene opens with the little rover exploring an "unidentified lifeform" in the ship's cargo bay and it ends with a glimpse of a drooling xenomorph hanging from the ceiling. It certainly can't end well for anyone on board.


The mission will be the first private venture to the moon and details are still being finalized. It will be just the second rover to land on the moon since the '70s, following China's Yutu rover. The Chinese rover landed in 2013, 40 years after the previous rover, the Soviet Lunokhod 2.



Alien: Covenant opens on May 19 in the U.S. The movie's human stars include Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup, Danny McBride, and Michael Fassbender.

It's a sequel to director Ridley Scott's Prometheus, the 2012 prequel to 1979's Alien, and is the eighth film in the Alien franchise. Check out the full trailer below if you haven't already.
