So with David’s intentions for both Xenomorph and human laid bare, Alien: Covenant isn’t interested in hiding the android’s goal to create the ultimate weapon, and more likely the reckoning of humanity.
Previously, we ran a story about how David has been “genetically engineering” his idea of a perfect Xenomorph on whichever planet Alien: Covenant takes place on.
However, that’s not the most interesting piece of this theory.
This was revealed through a clip that Scott brought to sell the film at SXSW, and in that clip Michael Fassbender’s David eventually mentions this to Billy Crudup’s Christopher, as well as his intention of using him as basically a “mother” for his next iteration of the creature.
