Noomi Rapace is expected to return for the Prometheus sequel Alien: Covenant after all. Sources at trade blog Deadline are reporting that Rapace is in Australia and on the set to shoot weeks worth of scenes in Ridley Scott’s film, joining the likes of Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup, Danny McBride and Demian Bichir.
Previous rumblings said that Rapace would not return, but that isn’t the case. It looks like Elizabeth Shaw will be back.
Here’s the plot.
Ridley Scott returns to the universe he created in ALIEN with ALIEN: COVENANT, the second chapter in a prequel trilogy that began with PROMETHEUS — and connects directly to Scott’s 1979 seminal work of science fiction. Bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, the crew of the colony ship Covenant discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world — whose sole inhabitant is the “synthetic” David (Michael Fassbender), survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition.
Alien: Covenant will release next August.
