The director released the highly anticipated sequel to Prometheus, Alien: Covenant, earlier this year, but critic and fan response was not entirely enthusiastic.
The success of Covenant would have helped solidify plans to continue with Scott’s planned additional Alien movies, but it sounds like Covenant wasn’t enough of a box office heavy hitter for 20th Century Fox to be totally sold on continuing to invest in Scott’s vision for the future of the franchise.
Be worried, Alien fans.
Ever since Ridley Scott returned to his Alien franchise with Prometheus back in 2012, fans of the films had been hoping that he would continue giving us stories that involved a growing variety of super angry, scary ass monsters and the creation of everything we know.
