David and Walter, the two android of Alien: Covenant, are not at all similar. Michael Fassbender recently confided in their differences!
Are you ready to face new extraterrestrials? Alien: Covenant finally arrives next Wednesday in our dark rooms, with its parade of not friendly and creepy aliens, heroes in full survival horror and above all, androids a little shady. Because yes, as you probably know, the film is not content this time with the presence of a single robot. Not only will we find David, who accompanied Elizabeth Shaw in space, as revealed in Alien: Covenant’s video prologue , but we’ll also meet Walter, his almost twin. Of course, it is Michael Fassbender who lends his features to the two characters, The color of their hair being about the only thing that will allow us to distinguish them. Or not. It is not because the two androids are physically alike that they are alike! Moreover, the actor was able to reveal some of the differences that exist between David, the robot sometimes a little too human, and Walter, the newcomer loyal to the crew of the Covenant.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Michael Fassbender explained what really differentiated David and Walter. And everything has obviously to do with their way of behaving, David appearing in fact more human than his counterpart . The actor says: ” I wanted Walter to be a little more like Spock – deprived of these human characteristics and emotional content that were programmed in David. I wanted it to be a bit like a blank page, on which Everyone could project what he wants . ” So yes, as we suspected, Walter should be much less expressive than David, which does not mean that it will not be less disturbing, as can be seen on the Alien poster: Covenant that was unveiled some time ago. However, there is a good chance that the emotions programmed in David have pushed him towards the dark side and are responsible for his fascination for extraterrestrial life. In itself, therefore , the fact that Walter is deprived of these human affects may make him more trustworthy . Well, that’s still to be seen … Do you look forward to seeing the film?

Alien Covenant: New details on Walter and David (Michael Fassbender) unveiled

Today we know a little more about David and Walter, the two androids played by Michael Fassbender in Alien: Covenant, with new information!
What can David, the android of Prometheus , be producing? It’s a question that, just a few weeks before the release of Alien: Covenant , obsesses us. Because it seems that the character has become more and more shady, since his head flew with Elizabeth Shaw in the engineers ship! One is more or less certain now that the robot played by Michael Fassbender has something to do with the birth of the Neomorphs . So if we can not wait to discover the muzzle full of canine drool of extraterrestrials, we are also very suspicious of the robot. And the new details that were unveiled on his character, but also on Walter, the other android played by Michael Fassbender, Do not have enough to reassure us! Empire magazine, which had the opportunity to visit the set of Alien: Covenant , was able to gleaned exclusively some information about the two protagonists.
And the first thing the magazine tells us is that Walter’s mission is to take care of the Covenant ship while his crew, which is composed only of couples, is plunged into sleep. A role that resembles the one that David held in Prometheus ! As for the latter, it seems that he found his cybernetic body thanks to Elizabeth Shaw, whose fate was teased in a video of Alien: Covenant . And it must be believed that since his foray into the planet of Engineers, David has come to develop a fascination not very healthy for the awful extraterrestrial creatures … and a certain contempt for humans ! After the death of Peter Weyland, its creator, in Prometheus , The robot became disinterested in humanity, which, according to the writer John Logan, ended up disappointing him. As a result, he turned to … the study of extraterrestrial life. This is not frankly good news for the crew of the Covenant, who will be attracted by a call for help from a mysterious planet. And who is going to find himself hunted by the Neomorphs.
And if not, Walter, in all this? Well, according to Empire magazine’s news, this new android, which looks like David, has an unfailing loyalty to the crew of the ship. But above all, according to Michael Fassbender, Walter has a technology more advanced than David. However, the latter being of the vain kind and knowing himself highly intelligent, there is a good chance that he tries to convince Walter to join his camp . In other words, in this case, Daniels (Katherine Waterston) will have to doubly beware. Especially that Walter’s reflections and thoughts should not be able to be read on his robotic face, which will make the interactions of other characters with him all the more delicate! In any event, The two androids should engage in a small philosophical duel while the Neomorph will ravage the Covenant and massacre its crew. What give us cold sweats, especially because, as promised Ridley Scott, Alien: Covenant would be particularly scary ! What do you think ?

Alien Covenant: Michael Fassbender worrying about a new poster

Perhaps the danger is not what is believed in Alien: Covenant. This is in any case what suggests a new poster of the film!
And if we were completely wrong about everything and the real villains of Alien: Covenant were not actually the Xenomorphs? And if, the real danger for Katherine Waterston and her crew was actually under their nose from the start? This is in any case what seems to suggest the new international poster of the film. On this one, we can see, side by side, the famous Xenomorph and none other than the Android Walter, the new version of the android David, also embodied by Michael Fassbender . In this new installment, Michael Fassbender will actually play two different roles: his former, alias the Android David, that the team of Katherine Waterston will find on the planet of Engineers, but also the new version of android David, Aka Walter, a much less human version that is mainly there to serve the Covenant ship. But according to this new poster, the latter could actually have more than one trick in his bag.
“What will be the end of mankind?” , Then questions the poster. The well-gored aliens or the artificial intelligence? Michael Fassbender recently told David that David had changed a lot since Prometheus and saw the fate of humanity much darker, while Walter was much less human than David and therefore potentially more dangerous. What if David succeeded in corrupting Walter? Or vice versa ! In any case, that will not help the crew of the Covenant, who will already face unpleasant creatures without any pity. While waiting to learn more, discover what fate may have endured Elizabeth Shaw, alias Noomi Rapace, since Prometheus! And you what do you think ?
