I haven't seen Covenant (though I want to) or the AVP movies (which I don't care about).

Scott said last year that he was between scripts but he was planning to do it. Its says its announced but who know really with Disney.
I hope they do it. I really want to see the last part of this deranged trilogy.

Noah Hawley’s Alien TV Series Will Start Filming Next Year
Disney’s First ‘Alien’ Franchise Movie Gets 2024 Release Date
John Squires at Bloody Disgusting wrote:Evil Dead and Don’t Breathe director Fede Alvarez is directing the next installment in the Alien franchise, which will notably be the first Alien movie released by Disney.
Disney has just dated Alvarez’s Alien for August 16, 2024. The project doesn’t yet have an official title, but we’ve been told it’s set to be a gritty and contained horror movie.
Alvarez is directing the brand new Alien movie for Ridley Scott and 20th Century Studios, with Cailee Spaeny (The Craft: Legacy, Pacific Rim Uprising) leading the cast. Isabela Merced, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Spike Fearn and Aileen Wu also star.
The project is described as “an original standalone feature.”
THR recently previewed, “Plot details are being kept in a cryochamber, but as opposed to the other movies which focused on adults in corporate, militaristic and scientific roles, this now-ninth installment of the franchise will focus on a group of young people.”
“In this ninth entry in the immensely popular and enduring film series, a group of young people on a distant world find themselves in a confrontation with the most terrifying life form in the universe.”
Alvarez co-wrote the script with Rodo Sayagues (Evil Dead).
Ridley Scott, who of course directed the original classic in 1979 and later returned for prequels Prometheus and Alien: Covenant, will produce the movie via his Scott Free banner.
The Alien film franchise is currently eight movies deep, with filmmakers including James Cameron, David Fincher, and Jean-Pierre Jeunet bringing to the screen their own versions of the Xenomorph monsters that Ridley Scott and Dan O’Bannon gave birth to back in the 1970s

I really wish they would do a movie about the Engineers and their downfall.

Me too, but the box office for anything Engineer-centric has proven to be disappointing. People are dummies and ruin everything.

The fact that we're getting a Hulu series instead of Scott's final entry is beyond depressing. Cinema is a dead artform etc. etc.

I read somewhere that Scott is still pushing the sequel to this one

Isn't Scott's final entry still possible? Or do you see him producing a Fede-directed movie as the door being closed on that?

Romulus doing so well means it will probably happen with Alvarez at the helm.
