But the actor does have two films in theaters now (or one on streaming anyhow), Taika Waiti’s “Next Goal Wins” (read our review) and David Fincher’s “The Killer” (read our review).

Katherine Waterston has quietly developed one of the most diverse resumes of any actress in her generation. She is equally at home in an intimate feature such as the upcoming “The World to Come,” which premiered at Venice, as she is in a blockbuster like “Alien: Covenant” or “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.” And she’s currently co-starring in the acclaimed HBO series “The Third Day,” in which she plays the mysterious Jess, a visitor to the ominous Osea Island.

It appears Sir Ridley Scott is almost as deadset on making more “Alien” films as James Cameron is in his “Avatar” sequels. No matter how negative or lukewarm the response to the prequel/reboot “Prometheus” and its sequel, “Alien: Covenant,” Scott is reportedly still developing a new film in the franchise, but it looks like it will be different from what fans would expect.

No matter how many fans and critics openly ask for him to stop, it appears that Ridley Scott is still deadset on making more ‘Alien’ films.
