The film is slated to take place after the events of Prometheus and will continue to explore the growth and beginning of the iconic creature known.

The last film left off with the first creature popping out of the inside of the engineer, while David, played by Michael Fassbender and Dr. Shaw set out to learn more about the engineers’ design. This film will follow with a different crew and Fassbender returning to reprise his role.

More should end up being fleshed out from the events in the previous film and that should lead to some answers to burning questions. Also with the way the last film ended, the concept of the alien itself is the selling point to this film.
