The Shame star revealed that the upcoming sci-fi film from director Ridley Scott will feature recognisable "creatures" from the 1979 movie.
"There's definitely a link to Alien," Fassbender told Entertainment Weekly.
"There's creatures in it that you'll recognise, but that's only one tiny facet of what's going on," he added. "I think I should leave it at that."

In October, Prometheus star Rafe Spall revealed that Scott employed security guards to patrol the set of the forthcoming Alien prequel.
Screenwriter Damon Lindelof said that Fassbender will be portraying a robot in Prometheus.
Scott praised the use of 3D in filmmaking while attending the 2011 Comic-Con, saying that he will never work without the format again.
Prometheus opens on June 1, 2012 in the UK and on June 8, 2012 in the US.
