While many were confused with its plotline, the fact that “Prometheus” made $404 million in the box-office when it was released to theaters, a sequel became very necessary. It was already necessary as it is since Scott promised a prequel trilogy, but “Prometheus 2” even became more imperative with the box-office success of its predecessor film.
Director Ridley Scott, who is helming “Alien: Covenant” just like the first two “Alien” films and “Prometheus,” has been dropping hints as to what exactly fans can expect from the anticipated follow-up movie.
In addition to previously making the full disclosure on the movie’s official title, Ridley Scott also confirmed that actor Michael Fassbender is set to reprise his original role of the synthetic David in the upcoming “Prometheus” sequel.
Producers 20th Century Fox also released the synopsis of “Alien: Covenant” early this year and alluded that the crew of the colony ship Covenant will go through an uncharted paradise in their mission to go to a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy. It is on the planet where they will find David.
Unbeknown to them, the xenomorph alien is also on the same planet and that is where all the excitement and suspense shall emanate.
