Alien Movie Franchise

It's kind of funny to see that narrative is always soldiers venturing into unknown place and gets attacked by aliens.
I wonder if the alien franchise wants to try out some of the new stories and come up with something new?

Do you think this franchise would come up with any new stories or new movies in near future?

 

[Phenom]

No. It's a tried and true story that's been tweaked very little and has only given brief glimpses into the mythos and lore of the universe. I'm hoping they come out with one that dives a little more into the creation of the aliens as weapons that Prometheus hinted at.

Ridley Scott says there's another film in the works. But the Prometheus plotline is over. So we won't be seeing David or any of those characters again from Prometheus or Alien Covenant in the next installment.

Ridley Scott has returned to the world of dystopic sci-fi as executive producer on HBO Max’s post-apocalyptic series “Raised by Wolves,” and the show’s android-centered conceit has naturally raised the question of whether we should expect a new “Alien” movie any time soon. In a new interview with Forbes, Scott teased the future of the franchise, and said that a new film, while in the works, isn’t likely to revisit the worlds set up by 2012’s “Prometheus” and 2017’s “Alien: Covenant.”

“That’s in process. We went down a route to try and reinvent the wheel with ‘Prometheus’ and ‘Covenant,’” he enthused. “Whether or not we go directly back to that is doubtful because ‘Prometheus’ woke it up very well. But you know, you’re asking fundamental questions like, ‘Has the Alien himself, the facehugger, the chestburster, have they all run out of steam? Do you have to rethink the whole bloody thing and simply use the word to franchise?’ That’s always the fundamental question.”
