Alien: Covenant Deleted Scene Is Much Scarier & Violent
A recently revealed Alien: Covenant deleted scene is far more violent and scarier than before. The science-fiction thriller was released in 2017 as a sequel to Prometheus, Ridley Scott's prequel attempt to reboot the Alien franchise he started in 1979 with the original Alien film. Following mediocre reviews and an underwhelming performance at the box office, Alien: Covenant proved to be the final film in the franchise for now as the planned sequels were delayed indefinitely.
Alien: Covenant is set after the events of the Prometheus expedition to the alien moon of LV-223, which left all of the explorers dead except for archaeologist Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace). Through the use of an Engineer spacecraft, Shaw and her nefarious android companion David (Michael Fassbender), flew to the Engineer's homeworld to find more answers to human existence and the Engineer's suspected plan to wipe out life on Earth. 11 years later, a ship full of colonists navigate to the alien world to answer Shaw's distress beacon, only to find the planet's population killed, Shaw dead, and David roaming an ancient city. The colonists soon find out that David has been experimenting with an ancient killer life-form which he then unleashes on the crew, killing them off one-by-one.

An extended deleted scene from Alien: Covenant showing the deaths of Ricks (Jussie Smollett) and Upworth (Callie Hernandez) has been uploaded to YouTube by Video Dreschler (via AVP Galaxy). The new version of the scene is only seconds longer but contains a more brutal death for Upworth. A new unrelated audio track overlays the scene itself, possibly due to a potential copyright violation.
