Is Prometheus actually part of the Alien prequel trilogy? Yes it is a prequel to Alien, but is it part of the trilogy leading into Alien? If so, that means we have at least one more movie after Covenant, if not then we may have two.
Prometheus will probably be a prequel to the Alien prequel trilogy. A Pre-prequel or proto-prequel if you will.
Ridley also said that Covenant would be the first of a
new Alien prequel trilogy. He makes it quite
clear vague below:
Quote from: Ridley ScottSo I'm now going to the next one, which is the next evolution directly connected with the first one, which was this Shaw, when he replaced Michael Fassbender in two pieces and we'll kind of pick it up there and it will evolve. When that's finished there'll be another one and then another one which will gradually drive into the back entrance of the film in 1979."

Quote from: Ridley ScottWhen asked if the Prometheus films will tie directly into the Alien films, Ridley Scott responded: "Yes, but it will not be the next. It will be in the next but Prometheus or perhaps even in a later, before we are in a sense back in the Alien franchise."

How many years away does that place Alienkamp? Add to that time any projects that Weaver, Bien and Blomkamp may start in the interim... I don't see it happening.
Well, he's busy with the Gone World script now. It's an adaption from an as yet unpublished novel by Thomas Sweterlitsch. Blomkamp is just doing the screenplay adaption, it's not his own story. And when he's done he'll direct it. So he'll probably only pick up the Alien 5 script again when they are in post on Gone World, around 9 or more months from now minimum as a guesstimate.
