'Prometheus 2' Spoilers: How Many Michael Fassbenders Can You Take? Ridley Scott's Film Hits Theaters On 2016!

"Prometheus 2" will make its theater debut on March 4, 2016 and by now, news of a multiple versions of David, the android played by Michael Fassbender, will be one of the things to watch out for in Ridley Scott's new film.

Another thing to watch out for is that "Prometheus 2" might not be its final title as the film is being branded now as the "Untitled Ridley Scott Project," according toTheWrap. Film shooting is reportedly going to begin this fall right after the director would have delivered the "Exodus" movie to 20th Century Fox.

"The sequel is expected to feature multiple 'David' androids, which means there will be more than one Michael Fassbender on screen at the same time, according to an individual familiar with the project," TheWrap's Jeff Sneider wrote.

The "Prometheus 2" screenplay will be written by Michael Green, taking over from Jack Paglen ("Transcendence") and this time around, the screenwriter will tie up loose ends to connect the film with "Alien," Ridley Scott's 1979 opus starring Sigourney Weaver. The website said that "Prometheus" is meant to be the prequel for the "Alien" series.

UK's Guardian reported that while the first "Prometheus" raked in more than $400 million from the box office, critics and viewers alike complained about various plot holes and confusing details from the film.

The film follows the story of a human crew, played by Charlize Theron, Noomi Rapace, Idris Elba and Michael Fassbender, that is sent to look into a distant plant that could hold the key to the origins of mankind.

"Prometheus 2" is slated to make its theater release on March 4, 2016, HollywoodLife.com said. The website also noted that while it's "exciting" that a release date is finally revealed, it's still surprising that the sequel didn't happen sooner because it was such a commercial success.
