Ridley Scott Says Engineers Will Be Back in Next ‘Alien’… If it Gets Made
What’s next for the Alien franchise? Is there even a next?
After failing to make much of a mark at the box office, Alien: Covenant has left the fate of Ridley Scott’s Alien prequel universe hanging in the balance. We don’t yet know if Scott will get the chance to make another, but we do know that he’s developing a follow-up film anyway.
In a new interview that just hit the net, Scott teased what’s coming… if it comes at all.
“We’re being written now,” Scott said in the interview you’ll find below. “There’ll be three or four different players coming in to investigate. One of which will be the Engineers arriving back to find their planet decimated. I think those ships come and go on regular intervals. I see them as the gardeners of space.”
Scott continued, “Where we go next is obvious. We’re gonna actually go to the planet. In so doing…I’m not going to tell you the story!”
What does Scott mean by “the planet” in that second quote? Does he mean the planet we saw in Alien: Covenant, presumed to be the Engineers’ home planet? Or does he mean Origae-6, the planet that we were left to assume David was headed to at the end of the film? Or maybe LV-426, the planet from the original Alien?
Your guess is as good as ours. We’re just hoping he gets to make another one.

In the 1994 movie starring the late Brandon Lee, Eric Draven’s fiancée is killed alongside Draven, setting the film’s revenge storyline into motion. It spawned a handful of sequels.
