A couple of changes can be expected can be expected for director Ridley Scott's Prometheus 2. Rumors about the plot details say that a character might be killed to give way to the entrance of another character.

Prometheus fans who have been waiting for a sequel of the 2012 film should probably brace themselves for a couple of changes that director Scott has in store for the Prometheus 2 film. The changes in the film reportedly might include exclusion of aliens, the android David being "bodiless", the death of Dr. Elizabeth Shaw, and a revelation about The Engineers.

Prometheus 2's plot will focus on finding the home of The Engineers called "Paradise". As mentioned, Dr. Shaw and David will be back in the film, but changes must be expected.

In the final parts of 2012 Prometheus film, an early type of xenomorph popped up, and because of that, it's pretty understandable why fans thought xenomorphs will be included in the movie's sequel. But apparently, Scott decided against it. But in lieu of the vicious xenomorph, a new breed of aliens will reportedly appear in the film. These new aliens will be ones related to xenomorphs, but is said to be more scary.

Aside from that, one of the possible changes in the film is android David being "bodiless". Speculations say that there's a possibility that David will just be a head in the upcoming sequel, since he was decapitated in the first film. Other than David, Dr. Shaw will also be in the sequel, but this time, she might (or might not) be killed. Her death will reportedly pave the way to the introduction of a new female character.

Meanwhile, The Engineers who was referred in the first film as the species who created the humans, might also just be a creation of another race. David and Dr. Shaw will reportedly make it to the Engineer's home and find out all about the creators' origin.

Prometheus 2's title is said to be "Prometheus 2: Hell on Earth", and just like how the title suggests, the movie's setting will be on Earth. Aside from that, the movie's concept is now being finalized as Scott finally decided on a script, after changing 15 times.

Although there have been no confirmed reports for its official release date yet, Prometheus 2 is said to be released next year.
