While David’s fate was left uncertain at the end of Prometheus, fans now know that the character will return in the upcoming sequel Alien: Covenant.
With a ten year gap between Alien: Covenant and Prometheus as well, it’s natural to expect that a character like David would undergo some changes during that time alone with Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace).
On the other side of the aisle, the film was criticized for a weak plot, paper thin characters, and too many unresolved storylines.
Fassbender will actually be pulling double duty, as he’ll also portray a new android, Walter, an “improved” David model who is incapable of feeling emotion.
