With the Alien franchise sitting stronger than it has in years, it looks like the man who started it all is coming back home.
With Fede Alvarez’s Alien: Romulus performing well both with fans and commercially in recent weeks, plus Noah Hawley’s new TV series, Alien: Earth coming next year, Ridley Scott has revealed that he is currently developing a new entry in the series at 20th Century Fox.
While he has not revealed any more details, it’s likely that he will finally return to the prequel story he kicked off with 2012’s Prometheus and then continued in 2017 with Alien: Covenant as it still feels like that story is unfinished and a new movie in that series could be a great way to pull the prequels and the main timeline, which starts with Scott’s 1979 classic, Alien.
We also know that Alvarez is in talks to return for a Romulus sequel, so it seems there’s now two Alien movies in development.
And that’s just fine with us all here are FTN HQ.
What say you all?

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
