As cameras prepare to roll on Ridley Scott's Alien: Covenant next month, it's been announced that four new supporting cast members have joined the production: Jussie Smolett (Empire), Amy Seimetz (Upstream Color), Carmen Ejogo (Selma, Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them) and Callie Hernandez (Machete Kills).
Details on their characters seem to be under wraps for now, but it's assumed they'll make up the rest of the crew of The Covenant, which will be commanded by Katherine Waterston. Demian Bichir and Danny McBride will also have main roles, and Michael Fassbender will return as David the android.
Though we had heard Noomi Rapace would not reprise her role, Deadline seem to think it's a possibility.
Alien: Covenant is scheduled to hit theaters on October 6, 2017.
