In an old 2017 interview with Sir Ridley Scott by The Sydney Morning Herald, he revealed that he was ready to develop several films in the Prometheus franchise, saying; "If you really want a franchise, I can keep cranking it for another six. I'm not going to close it down again. No way. You don't want a two-year gap, so I'll be ready to go again next year."
Admittedly, I would be very excited about seeing Scott producing more of his incredible works of art (and yes, I actually adore Prometheus and Covenant, despite their flaws), especially as many as six new films! I mean that sounds really exciting and it makes you wonder where he would even take the franchise with that many films, especially if they would tie into Alien.
However, I highly doubt that this is ever going to happen. I mean it all went downhill after Covenant bombed and its sequel (purportedly titled Alien: Awakening) was cancelled shortly thereafter, and Disney's acquisition of Fox didn't make things any easier, and on top of that we have to point out that Scott isn't getting any younger and it seems unreasonable that he would be able to cough up six more fascinating films in this great fictional universe.
Nevertheless, it makes you really wonder about what could have been. Hopefully we'll at least (and quite likely) get to see Alien vs. Predator 3 one day and perhaps this film could help reinvigorate the Alien, Predator, AVP, and Prometheus franchises once more just as it did back in the 2000's with Paul Anderson's film and its legacy, and hopefully it could even reintroduce Scott's storyline and the Engineers into the plot.
