With Alien, Fox is reassessing the series after the mixed reception and disappointing box office take for Alien: Covenant.
Ridley Scott is already working on the script for Alien: Awakening, the proposed title for the Alien: Covenant sequel.
Though, during the press tour for Alien: Covenant, he said that he could imagine making as many as six more Alien movies.
This summer Alien: Covenant looked like it was poised to totally reinvigorate the series with Ridley Scott back at the helm and the Xenomorphs back on the big screen.
