If it doesn't, then they need to continue the story after Resurrection and we can continue the canon from there

I'd love to see the era of Resurrection or beyond be expanded upon.

I can appreciate their disappointment. It really is too late to bring back Ripley, Hicks and Newt and this News comprehensively puts an end to that idea. For those people who really wanted this to happen, it must be a serious let down Here's to hoping that critical elements of the movie proposal, mostly plotting and conceptual content, can be salvaged and Blomkamp can still be in a position sometime in the future to make an 'ALIENS' movie. Erm... except that it has already been officially green-lit. By Fox. The films official status is currently In Production - On Hold.Quoteand this News comprehensively puts an end to that idea.Where did they say it was cancelled? Quote from: Kelgaard on Sep 22, 2016, 01:18:13 PMIt's too early to close the book on this. Covenant took years to develop and seemed like a dead project for a while (Ridley made another movie in the interim, just as Blomkamp is doing now) . It's the same with Alien 5.Indeed, Covenant was put on hold by Ridley Scott so that he could do The Martian first. But now that Ridley Scott has done the same with Alien 5 everybody seems to think it's been cancelled.

Alien Covenant is the fifth genuine instalment of the franchise. I know I've just pointed out the obvious BUT HOW EXCITING IS THAT?! I can live with Aliens 2 going on the backburner as long as Ridley brings back the Big Chap in a new, exciting and inventive way.
