Deadline is reporting that 20th Century Fox currently has their eyes on actress Rebecca Ferguson to appear in Ridley Scott’s upcoming Prometheus sequel, now titled Alien: Paradise Lost. Ferguson recently stared in the latest Mission Impossible film, Rogue Nation in which she apparently stole the show:
“The actress is also in the mix for the Prometheus sequel that Ridley Scott, buoyed by his critical and commercial success with The Martian, is prepping at Fox to go into production in the latter half of next year. No concrete talks have been held about that one yet but Deadline understands that the latest draft was delivered to Scott and Fox execs recently and it is, by all accounts, very strong with a peach of a major female role.”

The same article also reports she is in talks to star opposite Michael Fassbender for The Snowman which is due to start in January 2016. Previous reports had Alien: Paradise Lost starting production in January of 2016 but the above report from Deadline mentions production would be later on in the second half of 2016. It is possible they may mean shooting starts in the latter half of 2016. Thanks to GQSioux and tmjhur for the news.
I didn't miss the joke. Just thought it was a cold one.
LOL
OOH! BURRRRNN...
He was the shining star of Prometheus. This wouldn't bother me in the slightest.
So chances are, he might have a much larger role over Noomi's.
My guess is , he will be with the new crew trying to find a lost Shaw. Shaw will return for the last moments on screen while the majority of the movie will be with this new crew.
I just hope there is something cool and new to be seen rather them treading hand over feet in the same ship and cargo.

On-topic, I think Rebecca Ferguson knocked it out of the park in MI:5 so seeing her in more stuff would be awesome.
Not going down that rabbit hole again, but yes. That script did that as well.
Another possibility would be if the film only follows the new team to wherever they encounter Shaw and David, but this seems less likely.
CHICKS IN SPACE! I want to watch the Muppets now
Just like in Alien Harvest
In response to David and Shaw being marginalized, I'm actually expecting it to be two stories interwoven. Like the new travelers are on their way to wherever they are and we are cutting between the action. This would also fit with the Paradise Lost connection, in the poem their are also two narratives, overall.
The news of this actress potentially becoming involve may suggest she's taking over as the Ripley-esque strong female protagonist of the film taking over from Shaw. Here's hoping they do not under use Shaw and David's role.
