It was a theory but it could happen.
Because Luke Scott directed 5 or 6 short films about PROMETHEUS(3D) and ALIEN: COVENANT(3D). He already has the connections.
Lol the connection can only go so far. He'll get to direct music videos and commercials under RSA, which Ridley Scott owns, but Fox owns Alien. Despite Ridley informally being the new franchise manager, Fox would not let anyone other than Scott direct the next two Alien movies. Ridley has three children who are directors, yet no one's ever heard of them or their work.
Ridley couldn't get Carl Rinsch attached to Untitled Alien Prequel. Demian Bichir noted the appeal of Covenant was that Ridley was directing, and likely wouldn't have signed on if he was just producing. The appeal is that Ridley is the ship's captain. Alien is their new Star Wars.
They're serious this time. The Martian was a mammoth success, and I'm so thankful that came along and pushed back Prometheus 2. Really gave Ridley some extra cachet.
