Just noticed on IMDB that Australian actor Benjamin Rigby has joined the cast, and after a little searching I came across a very interesting interview where he spills some small beans:

http://if.com.au/2016/03/16/article/Australian-actor-Benjamin-Rigby-to-star-in-Ridley-Scotts-Alien-Covenant/LGQHCFJMGU.html#.VujX34Iv1r8.twitter

"I've read the whole script, and it's great, I really like it. I have a great character"

"I'd say it's a sizable role. It's a good plot device. My favourite roles to play are plot devices" (laughs).

"Because there's an end result being the original Alien, it has to connect. People can expect similar things to happen, it is an Alien franchise [film]. It does translate. Obviously it's a completely different cast - Noomi isn't in it. I think it goes from the first to second one pretty fluidly".

"The actor starts shooting on the fourth of April..."

"I hope Ridley likes my work and that we can share a language together. I'm not entirely sure if I get to work with Fassbender. I'm really excited to work with Katherine Waterston, she's a stellar actor. She's amazing in Inherent Vice". 

 

Wonder what he means by not being sure whether or not he will get to work with Fassbender... I have a feeling we won't see much of David until the latter half of the movie, making us ask what really happened to Shaw and David, and giving enough time to kill off some of the Covenant crew until the final reveal.
