Although a controversial film upon release PROMETHEUS, directed by legend Ridley Scott, took big money at the box-office meaning a sequel was a no-brainer for the studio. At the end of the film the only cast left standing was Noomi Rapace’s Doctor Shaw and Michael Fassbender’s David, or his head at least.
Whilst doing the publicity rounds for new movie X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST Fassbender has been teasing his involvement in the project. When asked by Collider if he was looking forwards to stepping in front of the cameras for Ridley again he replied, ‘For sure. I love Ridley. He’s a master filmmaker.’
Co-star and fellow interviewee James McAvoy then stole the interviewers next question and asked if Fassbender was doing the sequel to which the 12 YEARS A SLAVE star gave this response, ‘Yeah, but when I don’t know.’
The script for the second part is still being written at the moment so the extent of Fassbender’s involvement remains to be seen. Given the events towards the end of PROMETHEUS David would somehow have to acquire a body of some sort if he were to be a prominent role. Early script rumours however have pointed to multiple David’s so there is the possibility that the actor would be heavily involved.
The promise of him returning is definitely a happy one as he was easily the best thing (after the visuals) about the movie giving a mesmerizing performance as the LAWRENCE OF ARABIA loving android.
