If you haven’t seen Alien: Covenant, you might be interested in one scene, which involves Michael Fassbender getting intimate with himself. In the movie, Fassbender plays two different androids – David from the first movie, and the supposedly more advanced Walter.
They have an interesting relationship including a scene where David teaches Walter how to play the flute (phallic imagery alert), including the easily misinterpreted line, “I’ll do the fingering.” As THR describes it, David then declared ‘”you have symphonies in you, brother!” Later, the pair share a kiss, with David telling Walter no one will ever love like he does — before attempting to kill him.’
Whether it’s brotherly or something more will depend on your interpretation. However, as co-writer Dante Harper describes it as the ‘David seduces Walter’, and that it was designed to be homoerotic, it would appear we’re not just seing things.
You can take a look at the kiss below. (H/T Fleshbot)
