The new poster for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull confirms something alien is afoot.

The possibly final theatrical movie poster for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull by legendary movie poster artist Drew Struzan has been unleashed. The poster features the first official close-up look at the alien-like Crystal Skull and a snake crawling out from the foliage around the Mayan ruins (”Snakes. Why’d it have to be snakes?”). Very cool indeed.

The first poster for the film featured part of the title relic, but there was always something odd about the eye socket. In the follow-up, also by sci-fi/fantasy movie artist Drew Struzan, it’s clear the skull is not at all human. Add to that the recent trailer, with its shot of a crate labeled “Roswell, New Mexico 1947,” and you don’t need to be a professor of archaeology to put the pieces together.

Other clues: Looks as if our hero will face his least-favorite animal and the locals at some Maya ruins. Karen Allen (who also was in 1981’s original) seems to be enjoying herself, though.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull hits theaters on May 22nd 2008.
Take a look at the action to come in the movie in the teaser trailer.
