Exerpt taken from The Daily Mail, Charlize Theron talking about Vickers. "Charlize Theron also talked about her character Meredith Vickers, who was at one point shown doing naked push-ups. She said: ‘She’s very different from anything I’ve done. She’s a suit, essentially. 'She’s kind of the machine that runs the machine, that takes this mission into space. ‘At first, she comes across like a suit, very cold and frigid, it seems that it’s all about the economics for her. ‘She doesn’t really come from one side or the other, she’s not a scientist or a believer. ‘She runs a tight ship. But you can tell that she’s going to be a problem. And she said the further along the story went, the more Legend director Scott would have her act erratically. She said: ‘Ridley started doing this interesting thing, where he would have me stand in corners and lurk all the time, and it wound up being really mysterious. ‘In the third act, you really kind of strip her from her skin and see what her bones are about, and what she’s really doing there.’ I could be reading to much into it, but I think this hints heavily on Vickers being an android.

Dude, i've had this site & BBFC on refreshing every couple of minutes for the last 4 hours and it aint there yet. There is a film called Prometheus yes, but its not Ridley Scott's.

I think she's an android, but I also think she's a red herring and that there's a third robot and more things afoot. Theron's totally been coached on what to say in this case. They've made it way too obvious that both Vickers and David are most likely our androids to throw us off of what they'll be doing there. And possibly more. One good, one evil...? That's kind of new, but there's little element of surprise since we've been led to believe that by statements like these, basically. Something's gotta be up. She's definitely a candidate for our second android but it seems like they're giving it away already... the whole point is that they're supposed to blend in. In past films it was a surprise to the audience as well as the characters when synthetics like Ash and Call were revealed. We know for sure David's a bot, and Ridley himself let us know there would be two robots.

well ridley said that : """Lindelof asked Ridley Scott whether or not there would be an android in Prometheus, to which Sir Ridley replies there "may be two".""" can be then a provocation too ..can also be that David is not a bot like they want us to think but is a human disguised as a syntetic .

Some form of that could be possible with all the misdirection on this project. I'd go with some sort of proto-android in that case. I'm thinking it's more likely Vickers could actually be human, and they had her lurking around in the background and acting suspicious to draw attention away from what's really going on with the other androids until the end. If she is revealed to be a robot then it seems like there would have been too many clues by the time it's discovered. Or that she does something evil early on, stealing the Promethean fire or whatever. The viewer will already be expecting it. That's why I'm expecting some sort of bigger twist after she's revealed to be whatever she is. Whether that's an android, or just some soulless corporate drone like Burke that's willing to go to extreme lengths to gain an advantage.

I think Shaw is the Android - it's down to a whacky theory thats just so crazy it just might work! Be too obvious if it was vickers anyway.

Considering how secretive the movie is thus far it seems a bit to easy to assume Vickers is an android. This would be too close to the previous movies. I would guess there are two androids but the second could be a lesser class say some kind of early military mechanical robot attached to the second ship and armed to the teeth, let loose by the company causing havoc ending in a mother of a fight with an sj xeno. The remains of this robot are left on the crashed sj ship never discovered thus far but an automatic tracking signal was activiated on it's demise. Hence Alien!

My bets are that Guy Pearce is the android, if there is a second one (based on secrecy surrounding his part). Therone is too obvious and Repace would surely not be able to have a younger self if she was an android; I can't see the female lead being an android (not repeating the mistakes from RESSURECTION). Also there may not be a second android at all; at least not a second humanoid android. Maybe there is a curve ball and the space jockeys are cyborgs - knowing that they walk around in biomechanical suits - maybe that was what Ridley was hinting at in the interviews .................

Guy PEarce part is the most well keep secrets ... regarding his part we know this 1) someone said his part is bigger of what we think ( quite reliable font ) 2) someone said he will be in heavy prosthetics ( so so reliable font ) 3) it was said that he was filming in spain ...some scenes alone with fassbender 4) could have been added to the cast later ( but can be not ) 5) he was saw many times on the set

His name is Stannison on the IMDB cast list. The prosthetics could mean anything - cut in half like Bishop OR maybe transformed in to a Jockey or Xeno?? There are loads of people listed as working on prosthetics for the film on IMDB.

SHE'S 100% AN ANDROID !!! seriously, I heard her say in an interview recently that Scott made her act like one and that for me was the kicker. "He has me lurking around in the background and corridors and that the deeper into this thing it gets the weirder it got !!! She's the other Android !!! Bank On It! & if it turns out I am wrong I'll come back and eat this post !!!

She is speaking metaphorically, by machine she means that her character works like a machine, with little care for personality. Could be wrong, but I dont think shes an android....
