"The Alien franchise is looking to celebrate it’s 40th Anniversary in 2019, Alien Day came-and-went and it was a little underwhelming to be honest. There’s a good chance something live-action could be announced between now and next year, but it’s unlikely going to be film related.
This is where the Alien films seemingly stand at the moment.
Alien: Awakening seemingly is on definite hold as Ridley Scott has pivoted to things like The Cartel and Disney’s Merlin Saga [expected to shoot at Shepperton Studios where Alien shot]. Scott has given conflicting information to what he wanted to do with sequels, from wanting to strictly focus on the androids to having them keep up with the xenomorph origins leading directly into the original Alien. While many stay optimistic it’s been a while since we got a serious update.
Neill Blomkamp‘s Alien 5 is essentially dead according to the director and we’re not too shocked as it’s plug was pulled during prep and Alien: Covenant was fast-tracked instead.
The film would have brought back Ripley, Hicks, adult Newt, and possibly Bishop to help push the saga forward while dismissing the sequels after the second film [something James Cameron is doing with Tim Miller’s Terminator movie] and possibly leading into a sixth movie. Cameron and Sigourney Weaver confirmed reading a script existed at Comic-Con 2016, during the Aliens panel for the film’s 30th Anniversary [while Ridley Scott downplayed it as only a basic treatment/outline]. Jim calling it “gangbusters”.
Blomkamp has since lost interest in the film moving towards his original content at Oats Studios and will direct Chris Evans in his next film Greenland."
