Cameron has a lot on his plate at the moment, as the director has promised four Avatar sequels, with the first releasing in 2018. Meanwhile, Ridley Scott is moving forward with a new entry in the Alien franchise, titled Alien: Covenant, which opens in theaters on August 4, 2017 and takes place ten years after Prometheus.
