Filmmaker Ridley Scott (Alien, Prometheus) has confirmed that familiar aliens will be featured in the sequel to 2012’s Prometheus, titled Alien: Covenant.
Scott is quoted as saying the following:
“They’re going to go to the planet where the engineers came from, and come across the evolving creature that they had made. Why did they make it? Why would they make such a terrifying beast? It felt bio-mechanoid, it felt like a weapon. And so the movie will explain that, and reintroduce the alien back into it. There was always this discussion: Is Alien, the character, the beast, played out or not? We’ll have them all: egg, face-hugger, chest-burster, then the big boy. I think maybe we can go another round or two.”
Alien: Covenant is scheduled for release on October 6th, 2017.
