PROMETHEUS Star Noomi Rapace Will Return As Elizabeth Shaw For ALIEN: COVENANT After All
All reports indicated otherwise, but according to Deadline Noomi Rapace will indeed reprise the role of Elizabeth Shaw for Ridley Scott's follow-up film, Alien: Covenant. Click on for more details.
When Ridley Scott's Prometheus sequel was officially announced, we were told that both survivors from that film (Noomi Rapace's Elizabeth Shaw and Michael Fassbender's David) would be back. Then, Scott himslef confirmed that only the latter would return and the Shaw character had been written out.
Well, the legendary director must have had a change of heart at some point, because Deadline reports that Rapace is off to Australia to shoot a week's worth of scenes on Alien: Covenant. From the sounds of that Shaw won't play a huge role, but fans should be pleased that we'll get some proper answers relating to her fate in the buildup to the events of this sequel, at least.
Alien: Covenant also stars Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup, Danny McBride and Demian Bichir, and is set for release on August 4, 2017.
