Source: iwatchstuff.com
It’s been a while since we heard anything about that Alien prequel, but don’t start thinking we’ll be spared an extra-terrestrial addition to Ridley Scott’s uneven track record. Vulture has news Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof has just turned in his draft of the script, and Fox is flipping their shit for it. The reason: it’s cheap and teen-accessible!

Since then, however, we’ve learned that Ant-Man won’t be a character in The Avengers and we still have zero clue who will play the role in Wright’s film. But while those rumors may have ended up being false, that doesn’t mean that Brody wouldn’t be up for it.
Screen Rant caught up with the Academy Award-winning actor at this year’s New York Comic Con, and while he said that the rumors were indeed false – he has no relationship with Wright and didn’t hear about the rumor until we did – there was at least a grain of truth to them.
