At least the “Alien” universe is getting explored in detail and fans have something to look forward to – the story is being discussed from multiple sides and we’re going to see how many characters came to be who they are in the first place.
There might also be some interesting implications for the future of the “Alien” universe too, as right now it looks like both directors are actively trying to expand the various elements of this universe and give their fans something even more interesting to learn and discuss about their favorite films.
There is a lot of potential in “Alien” for exploring new topics and adding more to the lore of the universe, that’s for sure – and if the directors pull this off right, we’re going to see an even better performance for those films in the industry in the future.
Let’s just hope that they manage to sort out the naming issues soon enough, as people have definitely been worried about where “Alien” might be headed if it’s merged with “Prometheus”. There have been some rumors that there will be just one line of films in the future, produced in turns by different studios, but that would cause some problems with the freshness of the franchise in the long run, according to many fans.
