Ridley Scott has suggested that he will be making a sequel to Prometheus.
The Alien director, who is currently developing a follow-up to Blade Runner, credited Prometheus with sparking his desire to return to the world of science fiction.
"I just thought Prometheus was so enjoyable - returning to the world of science fiction was so fun - that I wanted to [go back to Blade Runner, too]," Scott told Entertainment Weekly.
"I'm also thinking about what the hell I might do for a Prometheus 2," he added.
The magazine then asked Scott whether he believes that a sequel to the forthcoming Alien prequel is actually in the cards.
The director responded by knocking on a wooden table and smiling.
Alien star Sigourney Weaver recently endorsed the highly-anticipated prequel, praising the decision to continue the franchise in outer space.
Prometheus, starring Noomi Rapace, Guy Pearce, Michael Fassbender and Charlize Theron, will open in cinemas on June 8.
