Ridley Scott reveals the Engineers' motives in Prometheus 2

Ridley Scott might be in the midst of promoting The Martian, but that didn't stop him talking about his next film - Prometheus 2 - in an interview with Collider during Toronto Film Festival. Surprisingly, the director teased some details about the inscrutable Engineers, saying the sequel will delve into the motivation behind their actions, which were discovered by our band of explorers in the first film.

"It starts off with a very grand idea - or a grand question, really, " explains Scott. "Who are they and why did they create such evil biology and bacteriology? And to protect themselves from what? So the questions are answered there, or rather, begin to be answered in Prometheus 2."
