Michael Fassbender has become the face of Ridley Scott's expanded Alien universe. Starting with Prometheus, Fassbender established himself as the curious android prodigy David. In Alien: Covenant, his more cynical and maniacal ways began to show. Not only that, Fassbender also portrayed the role of Walter - a newer model of the David android. Playing two versions of himself was no easy task, but Fassbender delivered a magnificent performance, as usual, so it's great news to hear that he would be up for reprising his role as David in an Alien: Covenant sequel!
Recently while promoting X-Men: Dark Phoenix, Fassbender spoke to badtaste.it and revealed that he "loves the character [David]" and would love to reunite with Ridley Scott for a third and potentially final Alien prequel, after their efforts together on PROMETHEUS and COVENANT.
However, like everyone else who was involved with Covenant, Fassbender has not received word yet of a sequel entering production.
Although we do know Disney and Scott are currently discussing options for a new Alien film, until a concrete script has been ironed out, Fassbender and other potential cast members will be left in the dark.
