1) The ‘Classic’ Xenomorph Is Back (And It’s A New Breed)
While Prometheus had a good enough hero in Elizabeth Shaw, what it lacked was a solid, honest-to-god villain. The god-like Engineers – appearing for all intents and purposes like giant humans painted white – simply didn’t appear threatening enough, while the results of their ‘biological weaponry’ – the Trilobite, Deacon, and Hammerpede – felt like retreads of what had gone before in the Alien movies. In Paradise Lost, the villain problem will be rectified, as in comes the classic Xenomorph.
Not just that, but there will apparently be an entirely new breed of Xeno made just for this film. At least, that’s according to Scott in an interview he gave late last year where he said that there will be a “fresher form of alien in the third act” of Paradise Lost.
The film will apparently explore the origins of the Xenomorph, meaning one of the most terrifying monsters of all-time will be back on our screens next year, courtesy of the man who brought it to us in the first place.
