If Disney can nab someone like who knows how to steer the Alien franchise like Kevin Feige with Marvel, then we could see some pretty great Alien films in the future.
If by "great" you mean generic garbage..
Do you consider ALIENS do be garbage because it was both critically and financially successful, as well as appealing to general audiences?
Like them or not, but Disney has succeeded at building upon successful franchises in a way that ensures they prosper. I wish Fox could have too, but with regard to ALIEN they were really just throwing stuff at the wall to see what stuck, with dwindling success.
I hate that Disney is absorbing all these properties. It's a monopoly and probably bad in many ways, but from a purely entertainment standpoint, I would rather the series be passed to a studio that knows what it's doing. Universal screwed the pooch on it's Dark Universe out the gate, and WB has been struggling hard with it's DCEU. Disney could very well f**k up in the future, but currently they're sitting rather pretty with two huge properties.
