Sigourney Weaver has now opened up about filming the scenes and her “concerns”.

“I had some concerns,” Weaver said to T Magazine. “But that’s what the training was for. And I really wanted to do it.”

She added, “I didn’t want anyone to think, ‘Oh, she’s old, she can’t do this.'”

Weaver said her training included diving lessons in Hawaii and Key West, Florida, she also had to learn how to hold her breath for more than six minutes.

“My hope is that what I receive from the universe is even more outrageous than anything I can think of,” Weaver said. “I don’t really say to myself, ‘Well, you can’t do this.’ Or, ‘You can’t do that.’ Let me at it! And we’ll see.”

Weaver returns for the sequel alongside Sam Worthington and Zoë Saldana. A lengthy list of new faces have also jumped on board including, Kate Winslet, David Thewlis, Vin Diesel, Michelle Yeoh, Jemaine Clement, Oona Chaplin and Edie Falco.
