Scott gave an update on the long-awaited 'Covenant' sequel, shared his thoughts on 'Blade Runner 2099,' and talked how he believes he can compete with AI.

The Academy Award honoree recently revealed that he’s “rewriting the next Alien film,” which will serve as a long-awaited conclusion to his prequel trilogy that also includes Prometheus (2012) and Alien: Covenant (2017), with Michael Fassbender ‘s Walter One returning.

Ridley Scott confirms a new Alien prequel is in the works, continuing Michael Fassbender’s David story after 2017’s Alien: Covenant.

Alien: Covenant expanded the Alien universe with rich world-building and philosophical depth. As a prequel to the 1979 original, it explored humanity’s origins, creation, and the dangers of artificial intelligence.

The big twist in Alien: Covenant is the revelation that a character from Prometheus, Mr. Weyland’s first android prototype, “David” (Michael Fassbender), not only survived the first film, but diabolically murdered his human companion, Dr. Elizabeth Shaw.
