Ridley Scott Teases AI-Driven Alien Finale With Fassbender Return
TL;DR Summary
Ridley Scott revealed he’s rewriting the next Alien film to serve as a contemporary conclusion to his Prometheus–Covenant prequel arc, with Michael Fassbender returning as Walter. He’s exploring the fallout of artificial intelligence going “off the rails,” a concept he says could cause widespread chaos. Scott notes he already has a footprint for the sequel and suggests it will pick up after Covenant, following the less-well-received Alien: Romulus.
