In March, Alien: Covenant director Ridley Scott vowed to make at least three more films in the franchise if Covenant is a success.

Scott has directed and co-written the latest instalment in the sci-fi franchise, which itself is a sequel to 2012’s Prometheus and the second in the Alien prequel series. The new film stars Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston and James Franco, and is set for release on May 19.

The County Durham-born director has now said that he’d be open to the idea of making at least three more Alien prequel films if Covenant does well at the box office.

‘There will be another one before we kind of literally and logically, clockwise, back into the rear back head of [the original] Alien,” he said. “If this is successful, and then the next one, and then there will definitely be three more.”
