Michael Fassbender, known for his iconic role as David in the Alien prequel films Prometheus and Alien: Covenant, has expressed his eagerness to return to the franchise. While there are no concrete plans, Fassbender praised director Ridley Scott and his openness to working with him again.
Michael Fassbender , known for his recent role in the spy thriller series The Agency alongside Jeffrey Wright and Jodie Turner-Smith, is best recognized for his portrayal of David , a lifelike android, in the Alien franchise. His journey began in 2012 with Ridley Scott 's Prometheus , a prequel to the iconic Alien series, which also featured Idris Elba and Charlize Theron.
Fassbender reprised his role as David in Alien: Covenant, a sequel to Prometheus that further explores the events leading up to the first Alien film.During a recent interview with Esquire, Fassbender expressed his eagerness to return to the Alien universe. He praised director Ridley Scott, calling him a phenomenal and inspiring filmmaker, especially considering the immense challenges of creating such large-scale productions. While there are no concrete plans for Fassbender's return as David, his openness to participate in future projects, be it a film or a television show, could pave the way for a new chapter in the iconic android's story. Fassbender's acting career experienced a lull during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, he made a comeback by reprising his role as Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto in X-Men: Dark Phoenix. Following a hiatus from movies and television, he returned in 2023 with The Killer, a psychological thriller directed by David Fincher. He has since been actively involved in several high-profile projects, collaborating with renowned directors like Taika Waititi for the sports comedy Next Goal Wins, currently streaming on Hulu. Fassbender is also set to reprise his role as Martian in The Agency Season 2, which is already in development. Meanwhile, the Alien franchise continues to expand. Alien: Romulus, released last year, received positive reviews from both critics and audiences, grossing $350 million worldwide. Fede Alvarez has confirmed he is working on a sequel, though details remain under wraps. Fans can also look forward to Alien: Earth, an upcoming Hulu series created by Noah Hawley starring Timothy Olyphant, set to premiere this summer. While Michael Fassbender's involvement in future Alien projects is yet to be confirmed, Collider will continue to provide updates on his career and the latest developments in the Alien franchise
