Now that filming has wrapped on Alien: Covenant, all those involved have a better idea of what the grand picture is going to look like, although everything could change as the film goes through post-production and the possibility of reshoots.

Still, having a general idea of what’s to come, Michael Fassbender spoke about the film and his expectations and thoughts, which seem to point to a film that will be more harrowing than Prometheus.

Speaking with Collider, Fassbender explains:

This ‘Alien’ is going to be… I’m very excited to see it and everybody in the film was saying this is a film that we all want to see. It’s much scarier than ‘Prometheus’ but it’s got the same sort of scope of ‘Prometheus’. It’s kind of got more of the sort of thriller, imminent disaster feel that ‘Alien’ had, so it’s kind of a beautiful meeting of both of those films. I’m really excited to see it, I think it’s gonna be super scary number one and then again with the massive scope of ‘Prometheus’… Once it starts and the ball starts rolling, it doesn’t let up. It’s really gonna bring chills to the cinema.

This sounds very interesting as I personally wasn’t scared in the slightest by Prometheus. Don’t get me wrong, I thought it was a gorgeous film that had its merits but wasn’t without its fair share of flaws. Still, this whole universe is absolutely fascinating to me, so I’ll see pretty much anything that’s offered.

Ridley Scott returns to the universe he created in ‘Alien’ with ‘Alien: Covenant’, the second chapter in a prequel trilogy that began with ‘Prometheus’ — and connects directly to Scott’s 1979 seminal work of science fiction. Bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, the crew of the colony ship Covenant discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world — whose sole inhabitant is the “synthetic” David (Michael Fassbender), survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition.

Alien: Covenant will come to theaters on August 4th, 2017.
