Back in March, Alien director Ridley Scott revealed that the title of his next prequel will be called Alien: Awakening, although he teased that the timeline of these movies isn’t linear, and will go Prometheus, Alien: Awakening and then the upcoming Alien: Covenant.
While promoting Alien: Covenant, the filmmaker revealed that the next prequel script is already being worked on, but it won’t be called Alien: Awakening.
Ridley Scott also teased in March that he is planning 6 Alien movies after Alien: Covenant, while revealing he’ll be ready to shoot the next sequel in 2018.
It isn’t known what the Alien: Covenant follow-up, formerly known as Alien: Awakening, will now be called, but it’s clear there is a plan in place to start shooting next summer.
