Guy Pearce's reprisal of his role as Peter Weyland in the opening prologue marked Pearce's first appearance in the franchise without extensive old-age make-up (although he appeared on a viral TED Talk released as a short promotional film for Prometheus (2012)). Pearce had been cast in Prometheus (2012) at 45 years old, because an actor needed to play Peter Weyland both as an elderly and middle-aged man, but ultimately the scenes featuring Weyland as a younger man were cut, and Pearce appeared in the film only under heavy old-age make-up. He was still aged for his scene in Alien: Covenant, albeit much more subtly.
