My logic to this is the fact The Predator has direct links to AVP , in that sense anything is possible. Add to it the failure of covenant , it actually sort of makes sense.
It has direct connections in the sense that fans of the series can point at a wall prop and go "Oh, that's AVP." That does not mean there's even a clandestine attempt to start something bigger.
True. But I wouldn't put it past em' to test the waters. Both AVP's made a decent return for their money. And this was before the prequels, Predators, The Predator, Alien Isolation, and cameos made in games like Ghost Recon and Mortal Kombat. This universe is very much alive on large and small screens, though there have been some stumbles.
There's little reason we shouldn't get another AVP. Yes, it's hard for fans to forget how bad the last two were because we think about this stuff alot, but John Q. Public might not even remember or care. With lower budget risks like deadpool making bank, maybe we can even get an R rating. It's not totally and completely impossible to make a good AVP movie. If The Predator does so-so, coupled with the lukewarm response to covenant, somebody may decide to combine the two again, purely for the spectacle and a quick buck.
But it doesn't have to be Michael Bay's AVP, or Aliens 2. Somewhere out there, a good idea is still waiting. And I hope we get to see it on the big screen one day. Because for me, it's not about the Alien VS the Predator, it's about the humans trying to survive both. Surely this can still be done for an acceptable amount of money. C'mon Hollywood.
