Despite the love-hate relationship people have with "Prometheus," the movie's sequel is still something that moviegoers are looking forward to.

Very little is known about "Prometheus 2's" storyline, but director, Ridley Scott, recently revealed that filming for the movie will start early next year in either Australia or Canada.

The renowned sci-fi director made the revelation while promoting his latest film, "The Martian," at the Toronto International film festival. When asked by Deadline whether Michael Fassbender would be reprising his role as the android David in the sequel, the "Alien" director replied in the affirmative and added that he plans for production to start in February.

"I'm in prep now. I'll either shoot in Aussie or here," said the director, referring to Canada.

The 77-year-old Scott was indeed sighted, along with his crew, in Australia last May. At the time, most Hollywood insiders believed he was scouring the country for locations for the "Blade Runner" sequel.

The confirmation that Fassbender would be back for the sequel was a welcome one, even though most did expect him to be back, especially since it has been reported that Noomi Rapace is slated to come back as archaeologist, Elizabeth Shaw. The two were last seen in "Prometheus" utilizing a spacecraft left behind by an Engineer to head to the Engineer's home planet. It has even been said that Fassbender fans might see more of him as the sequel might feature multiple versions of the mischievous, but at times sinister, android.

Unfortunately for fans hoping to see a xenomorph, the director has confirmed that no aliens will be featured in "Prometheus 2."

However, the Engineers might make an appearance again as the director expounded that he wants to explore the first film's subtext – "who created us?"

Based on his Deadline interview, the director seems ready to "go back and find those Engineers and see what they are thinking."

In the meantime, Scott is basking in the positive reviews that his latest foray into outer space and science fiction has been receiving.

His adaptation of the bestselling Andy Weir novel, "The Martian," will be released worldwide on Sept. 30 but initial reviews and feedback indicate that the director already has another winner in his hands.
