Alien: Awakening

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

Alien: Covenant 2, the sequel to this past summer's Prometheus sequel, potentially titled Alien: Awakening will NOT be focused heavily on the Alien Xenomorph and will instead focus more so on the A.I. David according to director Ridley Scott.

During a podcast interview with Empire, Scott explained that the evolution of the Xenomorph itself is "nearly over", circling back to comments he made back when Prometheus 2 was in early development that "the beast is cooked" and following Covenant'sfan response, that statement seems to have never been more true. He goes on to say that Covenant was meant to transcend the franchise into a new story direction - focusing on David, artificial intelligence and what world he would create if given the opportunity to reign without limitations.

"I think the evolution of the Alien himself is nearly over, but what I was trying to do was transcend and move to another story, which would be taken over by A.I.’s. The world that the AI might create as a leader if he finds himself on a new planet. We have actually quite a big layout for the next one.

So, it would seem Alien: Covenant 2 will see what becomes of the hybernating crew of the Covenant and what David gets himself up to when they arrive on Origae-6. It's sounding more and more like David will build himself somewhat of an empire of Xenomorphs on the vacant planet.

Having chosen not to "serve in Heaven", we will undoubtedly get to see what it's like to "reign in Hell".

Additional comments made by Scott also referenced the return of the Engineer race and mentioned that their species is far from extinct - adding further that they will discover what transpired on Paradise and most likely pursue revenge against David.

Ridley Scott on this Alien franchise is like George Lucas on Star Wars...they may be the creators of those things but it is way past time for them to go sit down somewhere and let another creator take their shot.

So basically they're trying to milk David Fassbender for all they can. He's like the Logan of this alien franchise

True but I don't appreciate him blaming the change in direction on the fans. He made two underwhelming aliens movies and the fans reacted accordingly. Make better movies if you want positive responses from fans.

I dont care about the engineers or an AI awakening. I am still waiting for the prequel to Aliens. That's all I want.

Really Aliens has reached its finish line


You can only make so many Alien let loose on the ship movies


The Al's have always been interesting characters. But if Ridley wants to do an AI flick he should just seperate it from the Aliens universe.



Alien just needs time to breathe and come back to it later.

Like I said they should've handed this off to Neil Blomkamp years ago but Ridley Scott ol drunk washed up ass hated from the start and wouldn't let it happen. Now he's ruined his own franchise with 2 horrible movies.
This new shyt sounds even more convoluted and retarded. David is gonna be the king of the xenomorphs now?

I genuinely liked prometheus. The sequel should have been about rapace going to t he engineers planet. Not the xenomorph

I know Sigourney Weaver and Michael Biehn agreed to it and they loved the concept art. Everything was a go until Scott's ego shut it down b/c of the love Blomkamp was receiving. He even started on the practical effects and was working on a script.
From the concept art it looks like Hicks and Ripley were coming back along with an adult Newt.
