"Given Scott was the mastermind behind the original Alien movie, it makes sense to keep him involved in the franchise as it continues to expand. "

It doesn't mean anything, rather than Scott I would love to "see" Jim Cameron behind the camera of new alien film, except avatar series (it's obvious) his take on new tech and alien worlds is crucial when you trying to create something new, something never seen before.

Scott tried it with prometheus and covenant films, as a result two worst movies in the franchise. So it doesn't surprised me, he is trying to get that piece of romulus succes for himself, tasty cake, and because romulus is based on the origanl film, I would say we gonna get something Alien 1 remake like, hope "David" will not be involved this time, not like I don't like the actor, but what hes character became in covenant, it ruined the film.
