Sigourney Weaver Has Discussed a Possible Alien Return (but Should It Happen?)

Sigourney Weaver recently shared at New York Comic Con (according to Variety) that she’s talked with the studio about potentially returning as Ripley in the *Alien* franchise. She revealed that producer Walter Hill has already written a detailed outline – about 50 pages – for Ripley’s story, and she found it compelling. While nothing is confirmed, Weaver has discussed the idea with Fox/Disney. She previously hadn’t considered revisiting the role, wanting Ripley to have peace, but Hill’s vision resonates with her. The outline depicts Ripley as someone ostracized by society for trying to help humanity, and Weaver is intrigued by the concept and considering collaborating with Hill to develop the full story.
