'Prometheus 2' plot news: No Xenomorphs for the sequel
Some news about the upcoming "Prometheus 2" has been revealed.
It was confirmed that Noomie Rapace will be involved in the upcoming sequel, taking on the role of Elizabeth Shaw. In addition, Michael Fassbender will also be reprising his role as David. Director Ridley Scott recently spoke about details on how the characters will be involved in the plot.
According to Deadline, Scott shared details about how the story of the upcoming film will take place. He said, "You can either say, leave the first film alone and jump ahead, but you can't because it ends on too specific a plot sentence as she says, I want to go where they came from, I don't want to go back to where I came from. I thought the subtext of that film was a bit florid and grandiose, but it asks a good question: who created us? I don't think we are here by accident."
Despite the previous rumors stating that Prometheus 2 will be set on Earth, it was confirmed by Scott that the upcoming film will take place on a planet called Paradise, led by the Engineers. He stated, "I know that Elizabeth Shaw wants to go to paradise. I say that in the first one. I don't wanna go back. She can't go to Earth. There's nothing left for her there really. She wants to go where they come from, those giants, those creatures. In her head that's the dark paradise. What's there? God, maybe? God or [the] Devil. I don't know."
Scott also addressed the rumors of the appearances of xenomorphs in the film to come. It was reported that it will be unlikely that the movie will involve xenomorphs since they are originally from Alien. Therefore, xenomorphs will be explored in the upcoming "Alien 5" movie led by Neill Blomkamp.
Nevertheless, Prometheus 2 will include two types of aliens. It was reported that they will not be related to xenomorphs at all. Meanwhile, it was confirmed that the script for the upcoming film had already been made. With that, Scott revealed that the filming for the movie will start on January 2016.
Prometheus 2 is expected to release some time in 2017.
