Prometheus in 2012, which explored the origin of the Engineers.

The future of the series is somewhat in question currently, though Rick And Morty, with an ad finding the latter duo coming across a distress beacon from an Engineer craft.

Needless to say, the ship has been overrun with Xenomorph eggs, and as Rick and Morty explore it, a Facehugger jumps on Rick. While that typically spells doom, the creature quickly withers and dies, with Rick revealing - almost with pride - the sheer toxicity caused by the mix of alcohol and drugs in his system killed it. Morty then hopes the characters in the Alien franchise learn about this, making the crossover complete.

Sadly, the characters in Alien: Covenant lacked the savvy of Rick, with Billy Crudup's Captain all but ringing a dinner bell when he practically sticks his face into an open egg. Rick And Morty's solution to the Facehugger issue isn't canon obviously, and Rick's diet of drugs and drink can't be recommended, but it proves yet again he's kind of unkillable.
