BIG news for fans of the Aien movies looking forward to Neill Blomkamp's Alien 5! It would seem, actor Michael Biehn (Aliens, The Terminator) has been asked about his potential return to the Alien franchise in Alien 5, to which he apparently replied "Looks like it!".

The report comes to us from a Reddit user, who claims to have run into Biehn at Penscon, a convention held in Pensacola. Reddit user Sskywarpe posted that he initially asked Biehn if he had been contacted about Alien 5, to which he replied "Yes" while smiling. Following that SSkywarpe reports: "He just walked by me and I said, " Alien 5, you gonna do it!?" To which he replied, "Looks like it!" and smiled."

Assuming the claims are accurate, this could be a massive reveal for Neill Blomkamp's Alien movie, one that many fans will be thrilled about. Until we have solid confirmation from a more reputable source besides Reddit however, we must urge readers to take this information with a grain of salt. However, while we await further confirmation, feel free to let us know what you think of Michael Biehn's potential return to the Alien franchise, by commenting below!

Neill Blomkamp's Alien 5 project was inevitably canceled following the merger between 20th Century Fox and Disney. Blomkamp had hoped to revive characters Hicks and Ripley for a new film, rewriting the Alien timeline, chalking up Alien 3 and Resurrection to mere bad dreams. Studio executives decided to can the project and instead took the franchise in a new direction, tapping Fede Alvarez to direct Alien: Romulus.

Neill Blomkamp's Alien 5 is indefinitely shelved.

I know he has been upset since they made Alien 3 and killed his character off, so I am sure he's pretty happy to be returning finally. That said, I think it's been obvious from the start that Bloomkamp intends on bringing back the original cast of survivors from Aliens; Sigourney Weaver, Micheal Biehn, Carrie Henn and possibly even Lance Hendrickson, for this movie.
