QuoteBiehn himself dropped by Belfast Comic-Con on the weekend of May 14,15 and, during his Saturday Q&A session (which we attended), discussed Alien 5, intriguingly name-dropping Jessica Chastain when discussing the Newt artwork."It's basically going to cut off three and four while bringing me and Newt back," Biehn said."Newt is 26, 27 and if you look at the artwork he [Blomkamp] put up, it looks like Jessica Chastain, who won the Academy Award last year. Every actress is going to want to play her.Now, this is where it gets slightly confusing. Although Biehn name-dropped Chastain, she hasn't won an Oscar before, leading us to believe that he's getting her mixed up with either Brie Larson or Alicia Vikander, who have both won Oscars this year and are also both 26-27 (Larson is 26, Vikander is 27).We're just speculating here and we're not saying those two actresses are in the frame to play Newt, but if you look at the artwork, it doesn't look anything like Chastain and you could easily imagine either Larson or Vikander playing her. Considering that Chastain is 39 (meaning she'll be over 40 by the time Alien 5 finally rolls around), we would assume she won't be playing her.
