Will there be a 3rd Alien prequel and a Gladiator 3?
Gladiator is in course of proper now. One other Alien prequel – yeah, if I get an thought, for certain.
It is a main shift in sentiment since his final remarks earlier this yr. Maybe seeing the reinvigorated curiosity in Alien has bought Scott considering once more.
Regardless of Alien: Covenant having underperformed on the field workplace in 2017, his 2012 Alien prequel Prometheus was a large success and set a brand new priority for the franchise.
