Possible details for the sequel to Alien: Covenant have emerged, shedding light and what might be heading our way.
The Alien franchise is one of the most beloved, however, the future isn’t looking too bright for Ridley Scott’s film series in the aftermath of Alien: Covenant, a film which didn’t meet expectations at the box office.
Scott wants to make more films but at the moment the franchise is on hold. However, in an Empire Magazine Alien special (via HNEntertainment), details of Covenant‘s sequel, Alien: Awakening, have emerged. The film would have been written by John Logan. Empire reveals:
“Logan’s script would have seen the return of Prometheus‘ Engineers, with that species’ survivors coming after the genocidal David. Setting-wise, Scott said it was obvious, ‘We’re gonna actually go to the planet.’ By which we assume he means LV-426.”
Sadly for fans of the series, it doesn’t look like we will be getting this story anytime soon. Would you like to see Alien: Awakening should it ever see the light of day?

I would be up for Alien: Awakening, yes most people including me agree that Covenant was a duffer of a film and an outlier in the franchise. Awakening would be a means for redemption for Scott and bring back what we expect from this story.

Most definitely. Some of the best stuff in the franchise imo. It would be a great injustice if the guy who brought us the original can’t finish his work.

I don’t believe the “Alien” saga will ever be finished. Ridley Scott is past his prime,
his brain is going, and his time is running out. Couple that to the fact the studio is
only interested in milking the franchise and the likelihood of an intelligent ending
to this is very poor indeed.

I agree that some of the more recent films haven’t been at the height of the franchise – but I still enjoy them.
