Confirmed: David DOES have Brown Hair

I knew it was David because it was a flashback and Walter is a newer model released way later.

I think the android in the egg room is Walter, because the cloaked firearm- wielding David seem to have long hair in the trailer. 

would make for a great twist if the android is walter in the egg chamber scene. he doesn't appear to flinch or help so is walter more like ash????? and then who is the evil droid, david or walter? or both????

Help me understand this then?  BLonde hair dying his roots?  Why would android hair grow?

Ali,

Walter might not know whats going on so him not doing anything would be a wait and see what happens reaction.

It would be good to know whether the different android models share the same features regarding their gestures, body language, facial expressions, etc...

Focusing on the face, he looks like Walter, but his way he is standing there, his posture, resembles David. So it is possible that he is David pretending to be Walter... Or we see Walter's body, but it is only the body, in fact there is David in that head, because he deleted Walter's memory and copied/transferred himself into the 'empty brain'...

And an extra question: How do we know that there are only two androids in the movie?

Neomorph well spotted.

i cant even believe i missed that, indeed under the cloak it does look like long blonde hair. I have never seen as Hi Resolution capture and so thank you.

I hope this does not go too SPOILERY.... for some..

But i keep it simple.... not to detailed.

Looking at this Hi-Res Photo now makes me think this is not David at all,  despite the Blonde Hair, or so it seems.. its all a bit confusing... i had come across another that i assume False Screening much like 4Chan one and well IMDB and this image makes me cast doubt on the new one, just as many screens prior made me cast doubt on 4Chan one.

The clothing under that cloak does look a lot like what Walter was wearing in the Trailer, he is wearing a long sleeved grey/green ish sweater with a sleeveless blue/grey hoody under it. In the shot at 45 seconds when he is in the cargo hold, holding a Torch.

The Egg Cave shot is also a grey long sleeved top,  and i cant think where David would get these from as he was wearing only a grey T-Shirt with Weyland logo and grey pants/trousers .

If this was CCTV trying to catch a criminal all evidence points to Walter in both the Cave shot and the Cloaked Figure. 

The weapon is also very Human Tech, the only place David would get this would be from a dead body of one of the Covenant Crew IMO.

It appears to be some kind of Flare Gun, but could be a grenade launcher.

I also think it's a grenade launcher BigDave

yeah I get what ur saying, but if it is walter and he does nothing, that would make for a wonderful twist to the story. is he operating under similar orders as ash was to bring back a live specimen? is the crew expendable? depending on how far into the movie the scene is, maybe walter has become aware of davids experiments and is curious himself as to what is going to happen?

The whole Copy brain thing i think is at play yes, as far as from each David Proto-type to the next.   And so as discussed before that shot of the White Room is a David model, if its with a Guy Pearce with no Old Man Make up, it would make this David either David 1 in 2025 or up to David 3 model.

I thought it would be David 1 in 2025 and then the David 2 proto-type this David 1 gets his memories etc transferred and this carries on and on until David 8 which has nearly 70 years of memories and experiences that makes his Soul.

This Tweet from the official Twitter page, confirms this now IMO

But as far as David on Paradise being able to transfer his consciousness into Walter, i think it would be a Twist we can see a Mile off, but would be less problematic than a David simply killing off Walter and then dye his hair the same etc.

The question is how would David have the Technology to do that? how do Androids to this?    Like how we can Blu-tooth data from Phones or Wireless upgrades?

This would be a massive design flaw as imagine a Rogue Android able to remotely upgrade the software of other Androids.

We cant rule out David transfer his mind to Walters...  not a idea i would like but who knows.. time will tell.

The more unpredictable events a lá Tarantino the better imo 

I think that maybe we will be led to think David is the bad guy but in the end we find he has a Soul after all and Walter is the bad guy... well he is a straight up Android like Ash was.

As far as the Grenade Launcher i dont know, i am sure 4Chan leak said he blows up the Drop Ship but then week or so latter changed that to no he did not LOL

I think logically its a Flair Gun to use by the exploration party in case they get in trouble, and pretty much used for the same reasons anyone on Earth would take a Flair Gun with them.

Potentially to aid with rescue etc..

I think certainly a Flair may Scare off a Neomorph, but then 4Chan claims they are mind controlled instead LOL

Hm yeah on a second thought a grenade launcher is probably not the ideal choice of weaponry to bring on a journey through space and to another planet. Good point.

NOTE: If Mr. Cloak is David, maybe he's calling for "help" to an incoming dropship with the flare gun? 

All his hair product was lost on Prometheus.

S.M 

So that's the reason why David is pissed off? TWIST!!

Really confusing.

There was a leak from last year that said that theres an opening scene with David and young Peter Weyland in a white room.

That post claims that its David from the trailer.There was also a picture of "Walter" playing a piano in a room that looks the same as the one from the trailer (could it be Walter?).

There was also another plot synopsis which leads me into thinking that Walter might become evil or join David.

"When a shipload of human colonists investigates an apparently habitable planet, they have no idea of the horror they are about to discover. But the biggest danger may perhaps come from a more unexpected source…"

Sure Dark Nebula but that "source" could refer to the spores, David, the eggs, or another human crewmember.

I'm not excluding the fact that Walter could turn against the crew but the cat and mouse statement between the two androids speaks against that imo.

@Dark Nebula 

Indeed that rumor was when it was rumored Guy Pearce would be in the movie and David would play Enter the Gods of Vaialla

On a Piano...

I think the release of the Trailer and the Shot of David with a Piano confirms this rumor to had been 100% Correct.

I think this scene is David 1 which Weyland had produced in the year 2025 and this scene is relevant to David 8 and not Walter.

As i predict Weyland had each Proto-type carry over the memories from the previous one.. making each first of each model unique and Weylands own Personnel Androids and thus Son.

so David 8 would have amassed memories and experiences from over 70 years by the time he was finally set free after the Death of his Father.

I would further speculate that Weylands Objective and Agenda was to create the Perfect most Advanced Synthetic so that one day when Weyland could created Technology to transfer his own Memories and Experiences into a Synthetic.  Then Weyland would Cheat Death and become Immortal.

Thus this process is in effect how David has a Soul, and Weylands aim was for him to one day be able to transfer his own Soul into a David Synthetic.

But as Weyland grew old, for all his accomplishments this is one feet Weyland could never do, he was never able to be able to Transfer his owl Soul.

And so Shaw and Holloways findings about where potentially our creators came from, Gave the dying old Man his ONE LAST chance to maybe salvage some hope of Immortality.

This is a long term theory i had even prior to Prometheus, as i was wondering when that movies Trailers and released Marketing etc came out.

I was wondering does that device that David uses to monitor dreams actually able to upload the persons whole Memories?

But indeed that was not the case... but i would not be surprised if Weyland invented such Technology in the hope that it could lead to such a thing.

HMMM...The more snippets of information that are leaked out, The more I believe that David has some tenets of Peter Weyland's persona. Not sure how it is done, but it would sure explain a lot of David's motivations and his unexpected emotional responses throughout the last movie.  Can't wait to find out if this is revealed when AC is released....

If David has been brought up by and around Weyland then i think there could be elements he would take on board, but also elements of Weyland he may despise.

David can indeed take on inspirations and persona, he did so with Peter O'toole's Lawrence of Arabia so i think over the many years which i suspect as being 69 with quite a bit of company he may have picked up some here and there and certainly some off Weyland.

The Question is what inspirations does he take in during the next 10 years since he found out about LV-223, The Engineers, arriving at Paradise and being Free.

David meets his Maker in that opening Scene as shown in the OP, did he at any point meet ours? or indeed the Engineers Maker? 

No doubt i think he would have gained knowledge of such things, but its a case of how much will he spill to the viewers?
