The filming of Prometheus 2, now called Alien: Covenant will not start until February, but rumors around the sci-fi movie found a way to reach us. There are not many official details about the film, but let's see what is said to have leaked from a source that is close enough to the production of Prometheus. Keep in mind that these are just rumors and nothing has been officially confirmed.

So a source from Scified stated that the movie will have two monsters, an old one and a new one, both different but close to the Xeno DNA. And the new monster will be created in Alien: Covenant for the first time.

With the new name of the movie, Alien: Covenant, we guessed that the movie will explore the themes from Paradise Lost yet not called like that anymore. The source refers to these aspects as well and that was before the changing of the movie's title.

The supposed looks and origins of the new monster in Alien: Covenant

Here's what the source told Scifield:

"The movie will have 2 Monsters, one is new and both are different yet similar to the Xeno DNA. The NEW Monster is a New Event, so it's nothing created before the Events of the end of the First movie…. it’s created by an event in the movie… and this New Monster is going to be based off of the Original Concept that Alien drew influence from, and this idea is something they had planned with Spaights' Ultramorph and so Gigers Necomonicon 4 is the starting point. This Monster will be transparent like a Jelly Fish to a degree…. and it's hinted that David plays a part in its creation.

The movie won't be going the route of an Alien movie, just we will see more clues and things that we can relate and make connection to the Xeno DNA and Bio-Mechanics of the Engineers.  The movie will loosely touch up on themes that can connect to the Prometheus Mythos and the Bible but more in respect to the Paradise Lost version of events but again loosely.

They won't be going a full blown Ancient Aliens in detail on us, just we can make subtle links to themes, such as Rebellion, Order of Creation (that has multiple layers that does not start with the Engineers and does not end with David). Stealing of Forbiden Knowledge and Fire and how playing God and going against God always has dire consequences."

If you are a fan of the Alien series, this might sound very interesting to you, as Alien: Covenant will serve as a prequel to the Alien sci-fi series.
