There has been another late addition to the cast of Alien Covenant – this time Australian actor Alex England according to Deadline. He’s better known for starring in the 2011 TV show Wild Boys and he’s currently starring in the new movie Gods of Egypt due out this week.
England joins the Alien Covenant cast with Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, Demian Bichir, and Danny McBride. It was announced earlier this week that Jussie Smollett, Amy Seimetz, Carmen Ejogo and Callie Hernande had joined the ranks too. Thanks to Enoch for the news.
They can cast him again as a different character. No-one would even notice.
I hope the cast list doesn't get too crowded. In Alien it was always shocking when someone got picked off. With the overcrowded Prometheus you couldn't really care less. Most people (and likely the film editor as well) didn't even notice when people who were supposed to be dead accidentally reappeared later in the film all hale and healthy.
As for Rapace, it would be relieving that her brief appearence is due to Shaw already heading to the homeworld of those who created Engineers.
Moar News, plz. Can't get enough of this!
