There are plenty of movie fans out there that were blown away when the original Prometheus was released back in 2012. Almost as soon as that movie was done in theaters and purchased on Blu-ray all over the world, fans of the series were starting to talk about the next movie in the series. The end of the original movie showed the only living character and Michael Fassbender’s Head shooting off into space and there was no way that the movie could end that way.
According to director Ridley Scott, that would have been the worst ending anyone could have imagined. With that being said the next movie is going to be released sooner than later and according to Scott, it will be very important to get Fassbender’s head onto a body of some kind. Most of the fans that saw the original Alien movies were fans of Prometheus knowing that Scott had his hand in both.
It has been more than 2 years now and fans are still waiting for the sequel. Scott confirmed that the sequel would be coming soon and that the script is already completed. Other than that, there is very little information known about the movie and that is keeping fans on edge for sure. The production team is reportedly doing what they can to keep all information about the movie on the down low to keep the excitement levels at an all time high.
Fans have speculated that Alien has actually come AFTER the Prometheus movie, but Scott said that Prometheus 2 is going to bring things to a whole other level. Even though the release date and the movie plot have not been confirmed, that does not stop fans from speculating how the story will go. Elizabeth will be on the hunt for answers as to why the Engineers want to end all of humanity and “David” is going to be on the hunt for a new host body.
Prometheus 2 is born out of necessity according to Scott, just based on how the last movie ended. The story cannot end with being blasted into space with the head of another character, according to Scott. There are a few story lines there that need to be tied up and that is hopefully where Prometheus 2 will come into play. Scott said that making the first one was very fun and that the second should follow the same path. He said that there are at least 15 drafts of the script circulating right now and with the loose ends that need to be tied up, the movie should be a hit.
