We’re not far from the release of the massively hyped Prometheus now, and an action-packed new poster has hit the web!

In a dramatic departure from the iconography of posters for previous entries in the Alien franchise, we are teased by the epic scale and threat of Ridley Scott’s first venture into science fiction for thirty years – having last helmed Blade Runner in 1982.

Check out the new poster below, courtesy of Empire.

Prometheus is due to be released on June 8, and will star Noomi Rapace and Michael Fassbender.

What do you think of the poster? Do you like the grand scale of it, or is this an unwelcome change from previous promotional material?
