Prometheus 2 Release Date and Other News: No More Cameo for Aliens' Creature, but Film on Hold for Martians

The Prometheus 2 release date which was previously announced as March 4, 2016, has been cancelled. For all intents and purposes, the Prometheus 2 film is now indefinitely on hold. In its stead, The Martian, an adaptation of Andy Weir's book of the same name, will have to be the next top priority of producer and director Ridley Scott since Fox has already set the release of The Martian, which stars Matt Damon, for November 25, 2015. Who the Engineers are, what are in their agenda, what is the mysterious black goo seen in the original Prometheus 2012 movie and other Prometheus 2 theories will have to remain unexplored for now until Scott completes work on The Martian.

After Scott finishes The Martian, the busy director and producer will further also have to choose between Blade Runner 2 or Prometheus 2, both of which already have production-ready scripts, as his next film assignment. For the Blade Runner 2, Scott confirmed that he wants Harrison Ford to return as Rick Deckard, and Harrison Ford is now already 72 years old. Of course, it's been suggested that Scott, who himself is already 76 years old, just farm out Prometheus 2 to James Cameron who helmed the 1986 Aliens film, the first sequel to the original 1979 Alien, or to some other renowned directors he can trust.

At this point, the Prometheus 2 plot is still unknown despite the fact that Scott confirmed as early as October last year that Jack Paglen's script for the sequel to the prequel to his 1979 Alien has already been finished. A report from Digital Spy says that Scott has given his approval to Paglen's treatment of the storyline. In fact, a Prometheus 2 trailer has already been uploaded to Youtube and at the Prometheus 2 website. The Prometheus 2 casting process has also been already been begun. Michael Fassbender and Noomi Rapace have both confirmed that they will be returning to reprise their roles as 'David,' the android ship maintenance man, and as 'Elizabeth Shaw,' the archeologist, respectively. In the Prometheus 2012 original, we see remaining survivor Shaw still holding the synthetic man's severed head, determined to find answers by going to the Engineers own home world. Scott in a talk with Geek Exchange said audiences will "find out how he gets his head back on" in the sequel.He also promised that there won't be any xenomorph (the iconic Aliens creature) in Prometheus 2.
