Theoretical question (as the choice already been made for you) but what would you haven chosen for this years Alien movie ?

-Alien Romulus that we getting from Evil Dead remake guy starring Gen Zs

-The 3rd Alien prequel (directed by Ridley instead of Gladiator 2, starring Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterstone. full on HR Giger, Planet of the Aliens, David as xenomorph king vs Waterstones Ripley-esque survivor, potential space marine stuff, potential tie in to the Derelict LV426, etc)

-Blomkamp's Aliens sequel/alt Alien3 titled 'Alien Awakening' (starring Sigourney Weaver, Michael Biehn, and Juno Temple as Newt) With A3/4 explained away either as cryo dreams, alternate timeline, or just ignored Halloween style (maybe 'Awakening' suggests dreams?)

id have gone with Ridleys prequel #3 (then Blomkamps Aliens sequel, and lastly Romulus)

Now hopefully Fox/Disney will consider re-greenlighting the 3rd Ridley Scott Alien prequel with Fassbenders David (just keep budget to 80m-100m range)

I can't see the further adventures of Rain and Andy being a thing (unless they somehow encounter David/Covenant/xeno planet/engineers)

Blomkamp's Aliens sequel (and the 3rd prequel) kind of feel like they should've been made . whereas Romulus feels like something that shouldnt. (if that makes sense)

Almost feels like someone went back in time and changed the timeline so Alien 5/prequel 3 got erased and Romulus happened instead lol
