Michael Fassbender talks Alien: Covenant’s new synthetic with Coming Soon. Coming Soon spoke to Michael Fassbender whilst he was doing the press rounds for Assassin’s Creed – due out next week and suspected to be the film Alien: Covenant’s trailer will be attached to in the theatres – and took the opportunity to ask how Alien: Covenant’s new android, Walter, and David differed:
“I think Walter’s a real different kettle of fish. David was definitely a work-in-progress, somewhat of a prototype I suppose. The elements of him that were the human elements I think people found a little disturbing, so Walter’s more of a straightforward robot. Pretty logical, much more of a servant without the ego.”
Michael Fassbender talks Alien: Covenant’s new synthetic with Coming Soon. Fassbender is seen here on the set of Alien: Covenant as Walter.
Unfortunately, they don’t go into more detail with him. Michael Fassbender has only recently revealed that his second synthetic character would be named Walter and Alien vs. Predator Galaxy had some small additional details to share about Walter.
Walter is distrustful of David 8 because the older model has gone without any form of maintenance or upgrades during the ten year interval he has been in isolation between the Prometheus incident and the Covenant crew making landfall on the supposed paradise planet that Alien: Covenant takes place on.

#DeaconConfirmed!
I wish, haha.
I've no idea what he could be alluding to there.
Same old, same old.
At the end of Prometheus, the only survivors were David (David's head in fact) and Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace).
"As far as we know," says Fassbender
Nothing really new, unfortunately.
He's got a long history of changing his mind, not delivering what we expected and in the end derailing expectations. He's a sly old fox and we should be prepared for anything.
Personally, I enjoy this aspect of him keeping us on our toes. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if this does turn out to be a trilogy. There's too many other series out there now for Fox to not want to take advantage of this current trend in movie making.
-Windebieste.
I can't remember if he's spoke about sequels since then though.
It's nothing new.
-Windebieste.
sigh... bollocks hahahha
I'm curious about this too. I'd assume David would guide Shaw in how to reconnect it.
I'm also thinking he could somehow try the black goo, either inadvertently or deliberately, which fuses with his mechanics and repairs him, which then in turn could give him the idea about mixing it with his DNA....
I still wonder how David's head is gonna be attached to his body. Shaw will do it? He will use Engineer's technology?
Robots have to do a lot of heavy lifting after all!
Jesus Christ what is wrong with me! I'm not doing this on purpose. Ash...Ash models?
the set photo attached to the news post, look at his arm.
Unless the upgraded Walter can do some neat tricks David can't.
There were reports of either multiple robots or Davids (can't remember), but I have a feeling we'll see somebody whose name begins with "E" - either created in the image of Elizabeth Shaw, or somebody/something else.
+/- some David-created abomination that is neither human, nor android.
The "Kane" models always were a bit adventurous, sticking their heads into eggs and such.
I think if most of the screen time was devoted to Walter, it would have been easier to wear a wig for the David scenes while just using his real haircut for the Walter scenes. Less time in the make-up chair.
Ha, Yes it does the producers ect ect.. But why would they break tradition with Walter? Mmmm not all the Actors on Covenant have been named yet, or what roles they will play. So I'm hoping one of them starts with a E and is in fact a robot to carry on the tradition. Elizabeth Shaw not counting for obvious reasons unless David turns her in to that crazy arse woman robot from the end of Superman 3 with his magic goo lol.
We'll know for sure if there's an android called Gordon in the next movie
I really hope that this was a deliberate pattern. I'm dying for someone to ask Scott or Logan or whoever.
because when i look at it, David scares me more then anything outthere.
David Giler
Walter Hill
ring a bell?
I could even see David antagonizing Walter in a similar fashion to how Holloway antagonized him.
It would also make a terrific ending if David eliminates and replaces Walter as head robot aboard the Covenant. Like how Ash replaced the science officer aboard the Nostromo... hint, hint.
But as we haven't seen any behind-the-scenes shots of David yet, I wonder if he has gone 'native' on the 'Paradise' planet...and is now bald?!
