Alien: Covenant Prologue - 12 Things You Probably Missed

7. Michael Fassbender's Accent

If you haven't been following the Alien: Covenant production too closely, you might be a little bemused by Michael Fassbender's presence in both the trailer and the prologue. After all, wasn't the mischievous android David merely a talking head the last time we saw him?

Fassbender is playing two androids this time, the primary role being Walter, another android model based on David which is part of the Covenant's crew. Distinct from David, he has an American accent instead of David's British one.

Considering that we didn't hear Walter speak in the Covenant trailer, this is an interesting tidbit about the duality of Fassbender's role and should ensure his performance is again one of the film's big highlights.
