Your support makes all the difference.It's been known for some time that Michael Fassbender is returning for Prometheus sequel Alien: Covenant but only now has the actor revealed a twist regarding his appearance.
He'll not only be reprising his role of the android David but will play another robotic character altogether - this one named Walter.
Reportedly, the two characters will be seen on-screen together (adding Fassbender to the long list of actors who have acted opposite themselves) with the more-advanced Walter not liking David's older model.
