Did Michael Fassbender Reveal His Role in 'Prometheus'?

Recently, it was announced the Michael Fassbender (X-Men: First Class) had joined the cast of Ridley Scott's Alien sidequel, Prometheus (my way of saying it takes place in the world of Alien, much like next year's The Bourne Legacy will take place in the world of Jason Bourne).

Though the character Fassbender will be playing was not revealed (as almost nothing is quite known about the film at this point), the actor gave a hint recently during an interview as to what role he'll be taking on.

While speaking to Entertainment Weekly, this little blurb came out:

When asked if he’d be playing an android in the film, Fassbender laughs, “I don’t know what I can say!” But as he says this, he glances down at a damning tape recorder between us and nods affirmatively. “I don’t want to get into trouble…”

Did Fassbender just confirm he'll be playing an android?  Probably.  Until we know for sure, let's just take comfort in the fact that this film seems to be coming together the right way.  It's had a long, but necessary development process, casting has taken forever which means the right actors are being chosen, and the film has a lenghty production and post-production time period.

Prometheus opens June 8th, 2012.
