This put an end to the original timeline as few spin-offs followed before Scott decided to start from the beginning. The prequel series was originally intended to come out a long time ago but the crossover series of Predator and Alien in the first decade of this century pushed the prequel plans to this decade. Accompanied by an android named David 8 Michael Fassbender , they come across the remains of a dead civilization and discover a broken and neglected spaceship.
Soon, they encounter an extraterrestrial being that kills off most of the crew. With a target of colonizing Origae-6, Covenant carries thousands of crew members and human embryos in deep space but they all land in an alien planet following a signal.
The planet resembles the condition of Earth but before the crew realizes the secret, hell descends upon them. A new alien hunts them one by one as David shows substantial character changes and a simple excursion is transformed into a frenzied rescue mission in the face of horror.
The much talked about name of Weyland-Yutani Corp of original series begins to take shape. Disney also showed interest in continuing the series, so the franchise may have a long future, given they perform well. It will probably follow David, who is on his way to Origae It will have the Engineers and Daniels will also feature again.
Somehow it will all connect with events at LV His journey will be pivotal here. Katherine Waterston as Daniels is also expected to feature.
It will have a lot of recall value as it is expected to connect with the actual timeline. Judging by this, we can also see some original members in the mix as well. Sigourney Weaver is always ready to reprise her famous role of Ellen Ripley. Judging by the time-frame of the last two movies, a tentative date in the last quarter of or middle is most likely.

By the end of Prometheus most of the cast had bitten the dust in spectacular fashion Charlize Theron, meet giant space donut , but two stars made it through to the end, namely Michael Fassbender's David and Noomi Rapace's Elizabeth Shaw.
Initially the film's official plot synopsis suggested that Dr Elizabeth Shaw wouldn't be returning. Scott seemingly confirmed the actress would not be in the sequel and she's not credited in that first trailer , but she was spotted on the Australian set and has since been confirmed for the movie.
Fassbender is reprising his role as David but will also play another android with a whole body of his own called Walter we spoke to Ridley Scott about why his name doesn't begin with an 'E'. Fassbender he's been teasing some major differences between the identical-looking robots. Her character has been named as Daniels and it's likely she'll be a member of the crew of the Covenant though not much else has been revealed.
Carmen Ejogo will be reuniting with her Fantastic Beasts co-star Waterston, too, and is promising that they both do "transformative things" in the film — we hope, for their sake, not in a stomach-bursting, body horror kind of transformation. Two of the crew members are also the franchise's first gay characters — and they're a couple too.
And none other than James Franco will cameo as the Covenant's captain Branson. It's been teased that David will journey to the home planet of the Engineers to find out about the creation of humanity and why they made those acid-spitting Xenomorphs. Were they created as their weapons? Is that where the crew of the Covenant discovers David?
