Confirmed to be titled "Alien: Awakening"
Ridley Scott has confirmed that this prequel installment will not be about revisiting the world of Prometheus stating, "We went down a route to try and reinvent the wheel with Prometheus and Covenant. Whether or not we go directly back to that is doubtful because Prometheus woke it up very well. But you know, you're asking fundamental questions like, 'Has the Alien himself, the facehugger, the chestburster, have they all run out of steam? Do you have to rethink the whole bloody thing and simply use the word to franchise?' That's always the fundamental question."
Katherine Waterston has expressed interest in reprising her role as Daniels from Alien: Covenant (2017) for this film.
First "Alien" movie to be made under Disney's ownership of Fox.
Could take place between Alien: Covenant (2017) and Alien (1979).
