I adore Danny McBride and his comedic timing (he’s a revelation in “Eastbound & Down” and I loved “Vice Principals”). I could easily argue that he’s the funniest actor of our time, even though he’s not a comedian. It’s all in that delivery, the straight-faced deadpan serious snipes he throws at his co-stars.
Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant isn’t going to have one lick of humor, but I’ll be damned if I’m not expecting McBride to show the world that he’s more than just a one-trick pony.
We’ve already posted this shot of McBride in the new Alien movie, while the official Twitter page has shared one more. Below you’ll see McBride rocking a space cowboy look that’s pretty badass.

Bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, McBride will play one of the crew of the colony ship Covenant discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world — whose sole inhabitant is the “synthetic” David (Fassbender), survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition.
Alien: Covenant is in theaters May 19, 2017.
