The 38-year-old actor set to star alongside Michael Fassbender, Noomi Rapace, and Guy Pearce, who are reprising their roles from "Prometheus", reported Variety.
Scott is directing from a script by Jack Paglen, Michael Green and John Logan.
The film follows the colony ship Covenant as it heads toward a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy. Crew members discover what they believe to be an uncharted paradise, which turns out to be a dark, menacing world in which the only inhabitant is the synthetic David (Fassbender), a survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition.
Fox originally planned to release the movie in August, but decided several months ago to move it forward three months.
