Sigourney Weaver is 67 years old right now and she was 30 years old during the original Alien film.
Alien: Covenant itself is a sequel to 2012’s Prometheus, which put Scott back at the helm of the Alien franchise for the first time since 1979.
It has already been widely reported that Ridley Scott is planning more Alien films after Alien: Covenant, but knowing Ridley Scott, this could take quite some time to complete.
There is no doubt that fans of the Alien franchise would love to see Sigourney Weaver portray the influential Ripley in any way possible.
