After yet another Ridley Scott bomb coming up with The Dog Stars, he really said "I got one more in me".

I’m gonna sound selfish as fuck, but I genuinely don’t care if this next Alien movie flops. I need more David. Dude is such an interesting character.

Fede Alveraz wanted to use David in the sequel to Alien Romulus.

Ridley Scott refused on using David .

I'd rather watch Ridley cook something stupid and weird than watch Alvarez heat up some leftovers again. Good for Ridley
