[As Polygon says] “Speaking to Yahoo Movies UK, director Ridley Scott is adamant that there will be no xenomorphs — the creatures synonymous with “aliens” in the Alien franchise films — in Prometheus 2.

“The beast is done. Cooked…” “I got lucky meeting Giger all those years ago. It’s very hard to repeat that. I just happen to be the one who forced it through because they said it’s obscene. They didn’t want to do it and I said, ‘I want to do it, it’s fantastic’. But after four, I think it wears out a little bit. There’s only so much snarling you can do. I think you’ve got to come back with something more interesting. And I think we’ve found the next step. I thought the Engineers were quite a good start.”

Prometheus ended up with what could only be described as “fan service” that connected semi-prequel with the rest of the Alien franchise. That final scene centered on a xenomorph, so it’s a little weird that Scott is going back on that particular creative decision.”
