Alien Covenant 2, or Alien Awakening, is the possible sequel to Alien Covenant and Prometheus. John Logan has already written the script and Ridley Scott will presumably direct the film.
Alien Covenant 2 Current Status
Ridley Scott said throughout production of Alien Covenant, that he had two more sequels planned, possibly a third as well. There is some confusion as to whether ‘Alien Awakening’ is the title of it. Scott has used the title in previous interviews but in others, he also used it referring to Neill Blomkamp’s cancelled project. Scott said that the script for the next movie had already been written and in May 2017, he said they would begin shooting within 14 months and the movie would be out within a year and 9 months. After Alien Covenant was released, box office takings weren’t as high as expected and there were rumours that 20th Century Fox was ‘reassessing‘ the future of the Alien franchise. As of right now, any future movies in the Prometheus series are in limbo.
The Director of Alien Covenant 2
It seems more or less certain that Ridley Scott would return to direct again.
Alien Covenant 2 Cast
There have been no official announcements of returning cast members. It’s to be expected that Michael Fassbender would return to play David again given the way Alien Covenant ended. I would assume Katherine Waterston has to return too but again, there have been no announcements.
Alien Covenant 2 Storyline
The script has already been written by John Logan who did extensive rewrites to Alien Covenant‘s script. Alien Covenant ended as David tricked Daniels into believing he was the other android Walter. As she entered hypersleep, David regurgitated two Facehugger embryos and stored them with the human embryos. In a separate feature on the Alien Covenant Blu-Ray set, it is revealed that David wanted to make a Queen Alien and was possibly going to use Daniels as the host. The second sequel that Ridley Scott had planned was going to loop back around to the original Alien, possibly with the crashed Derelict Spacecraft in LV-426. There were also some rumours that Daniels was going to be Ripley’s mother.
Ridley Scott spoke a little about the story for Alien Covenant 2 in June 2017 and said the Engineers would make an appearance.
“They’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. 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!”

According to Mike’s Monsters the suggested the potential for Ridley Scott’s unmade third Prequel was to be tentatively titled Alien: Destiny.
Man I can’t believe this is happening and I can’t wait to see a alien romulus like that and almost like a alien covenant sequel you know but also alien covenant sequel will might be possibly but it will still ever happen how the sequel was going to for depends about what is going to be happen next and I am so excited about that other movie and even the tv series as well of course
Such a display of limited imagination in these Prometheus sequels. Where they could have expanded on the scripts of 79 and 86 they actually shrunk their own universe by saying an angry robot made that mysterious creature using lab experiments.
It’s highschool level script writing.
Imagine if they had used the design language of Giger. Examined why the shapes are so vile and disgusting and attractive and pleasing at the same time. Satiating the mind.
Imagine if like Event Horizon the franchise had steered into the realm where the xenomorph originated. Perhaps outside the universe, a realm of pure consciousness and emotion, no memories, just being. Perhaps where the creator(s) of the universe originate.
The engineers having tapped into this realm during their toying with genetics.
Imagine a movie not about the simple fear of being eaten, but of the fear of to be or not, to choose between thinking and feeling.
Perhaps to be able to ask the entity there about the dichotomy between emotion and logic.
So much could have been made of this franchise.
Ridley Scott is a visual director. This means that his movies will look very nice and beautiful. But however, he’s only as good as the script is. He’s made some amazing films through the years, that’s for sure. But he’s also made some real stinkers. Prometheus and Covenant being two of them.
What happened with Ridley Scott? I remembered his epics Alien and Gladiator, they were awesome.
But the Prometheus movie and Alien Covenant were utter crap. I won’t in good confidence expect the sequel to Covenant to succeed were those 2 have failed. Seems like this is it for Old Scotty, he had a nice run while it lasted.
HURRY UP ALREADY!
It gives me hope and happiness to know that Ridley Scott sci-fi genius is still at work I look so forward to seeing more of the alien story to resolve the evil David story and get some justice for Walter. I believe all sci-fi fans are patiently waiting for his movies

What was the aim of the car and what was the aim of the eggs? That’s the factor to query — who, why, and for what function is the following concept, I feel.” thank for good news and since you said it other stuff too as well and first you tell a news about if there ai with a David the Android on it and now you found a good about a David The Android is Carrying a cargo of the these xenomorph alien like creatures eggs 🥚 purpose of the vehicle and purpose of the eggs how exciting about you will tell me and other people about there a cargo of the these xenomorph alien will return and other stuff you have good made include David have some creation alien creatures stuff and they will have a embryo of the alien creatures stuff and it will take over on a new alien planet is lv 426 the new alien planet after then get off the planet off and alien covenant sequel and other covenant sequel will be complete made soon and release date soon because you have a very did it good job now make your choice my little Sir Ridley Scotty I am waiting
When is Alien Awakening going to be premiered? Alien Covenant was good but left many questions unanswered. Surely the franchise hasn’t been ended and left us hanging. Or was there something about these films, and where they were going that made members of officialdom uneasy?
I really hope,if this film comes to fruition,its actually,like,good.
Prometheus was an interesting mess while A:Covenant was just a mess.
I’d love to see the third installment. David is the most interesting character in the series since Ash.
Happy future of the alien day

After watching all the Alien, Predator, AVP movies in raw, I think the world should be consistent. Yautja as an old culture should have some wars with Mala’kaks and actually get into possesion of their bioweapon – xenomorphs. Ridley Scott’s vision of Aliens made by David is quite a bad idea and not adding additional value. It is like a retcon and should not take place like Alien5. In the case of AVP3, which most of people want in space, there is an excellent comic book from 1990 where action takes place on Ryushi. 30 years already. It should be produced as movie.
I really hope that the final film will be made. I don’t think that will happen, especially with what is going on in our world right now. My wish at this point is that Alan Dean Foster can finish the prequels with a book. Please let him write the book!
From what I heard Scott thank of god he won’t do anymore movie of Alien. The DIsney clear told that he was to destroy the series as many common people were thinking.
So no more Ridley Scott movie but a Remake of Alien and Predator to start if the remakes will give lots of money on the cinema then they will do new movies. but at the moment Disney wants to reboot Alien and Predator franchise.
I Think That 20th Century Fox Should Do A 3rd And Final Prometheus Installment, It Will Be Called Alien: Awakening, Ridley Scott Will Return To Direct It, Ridley Scott, Walter Hill And David Giler Will Return To Produce It, John Logan Will Return To Write It, Dariusz Wolfski Will Return To Be The Cinematographer On It, Pietro Scalia Will Return To Be The Editor On It, Harry Gregson-Williams Will Do The Music On It, Michael Fassbender And Katherine Waterson Will Return To Star In It, Tom Woodruff Jr. And Alec Gillis Will Do The Creature Effects On It.
20th Century Fox Should Do A 3rd And Final Prometheus Sequel, It Will Be Called Alien: Awaking, It Will Be R-Rated, Ridley Scott Will Direct It, Ridley Scott, Walter Hill And David Giler Will Produce It, John Logan Will Write It, Harry Gregson-Williams Will Do The Film’s Music, Dariusz Wolski Will Be The Cinematographer On It And Pietro Scalia Will Be The Film Editor On It, Michael Fassbender And Katherine Waterson Should Star It.
