The existence of the first scene in the history of the franchise illustrating the existence of unconventional sexual relations in a distant galaxy , it was known in advance. Director JJ Abrams spoke about her in an interview. “As for the LGBT community, it was important for me that people who go to see this movie feel that they are represented in it,” he said. Note that many Hollywood movies containing episodes like this were censored before being released in China. So, the scene in which android David kisses another robot has been removed from the movie "Alien: Covenant".
