When filming was beginning for ‘Alien: Covenant‘ it initially sounded as if Noomi Rapace wouldn’t be back after ‘Prometheus’ and now not only is she, but director Ridley Scott is teasing a bit about her return. However, it seems more tied to David than her having a significant role in her own right. She may have been the centerpiece of ‘Prometheus, ‘ but Elizabeth Shaw does not have the same importance here.

It should be noted that this could be a spoiler so you may want to look the other way if you want to go into things fully surprised.

Here is what Ridley had to say about Rapace showing up in ‘Alien: Covenant’ though I do have to say that you shouldn’t be getting your hopes up that she’ll have a large part in the film:

“Yes, in a way. Not fully, but in a way. She was integral to what David carried out later.”

That has me a bit worried. Specifically the “not fully” portion of that comment. Will we only be seeing parts of her in the film as in preserved body parts? I’m starting to suspect that David will have either offed her in the upcoming film which will take place between ‘Prometheus’ and ‘Alien: Covenant’ or that she wouldn’t have survived it and he froze her remains. Or, perhaps he is using her for growing Xenomorphs.

It’s not like anyone really trusted David after we saw his actions in ‘Prometheus’ so I suspect foul play.
