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.

Guillermo del Toro’s masterpiece Pan’s Labyrinth is headed back to theaters for the film’s 20th anniversary this Halloween season, and the official 20th anniversary trailer has arrived this morning.
Bloody Disgusting’s parent company Cineverse is teaming up with Fathom Entertainment for the Guillermo del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth 20th Anniversary release, which is coming to theaters nationwide on October 9, 2026.

The Academy Award-winning dark fantasy is set in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War and follows a young girl, Ofelia, as she meets an ageless Faun who tells her she’s a princess and that she must prove her worthiness by completing three dangerous tasks.
Written and directed by Guillermo del Toro and produced by his company, Tequila Gang, the 2006 dark fantasy film stars Ivana Baquero, Maribel Verdu (Y tu mama tambien), Doug Jones (Hellboy II), and Sergi Lopez (Dirty Pretty Things).
