According to Entertainment Weekly, Sigourney Weaver has confirmed that she has met with Disney representatives to reprise her role as Ellen Ripley in the new episode of “Alien.”
The actress expressed interest in working with Walter Hill, who produced Ridley Scott’s original 1979 film, to create “a very different Alien.” “Walter Hill is a very good friend of mine, and he wrote 50 pages about where Ripley might be right now, and it’s really cool. So I don’t know if that’s going to happen, but I’ve already met Disney.”
Sigourney Weaver played the fearless Officer Ripley in four separate films: Alien (1979), Aliens (1986), Alien 3 (1992), and her clone in Alien: Resurrection (1997). However, despite the experience of shooting such a movie, the actor admitted that he recently watched the spin-off movie Alien: Earth with his wife because he was still very afraid of xenomorphs: “I have to make an appointment with my husband because I don’t want to watch the movie alone in case one of them appears on the screen. So I don’t mind watching it, but the ones I’ve seen before are amazing.”
By the way, the official trailer for the third episode of Avatar with Sigourney Weaver was released this summer. Avatar: Fire and Ash is scheduled to be released on December 19, 2025. Judging by the reactions on social media, fans are already coming up with theories and watching the trailer in slow motion for details. It looks like something big is waiting for us again, judging by the fact that James Cameron promised that the new episode will break all records.
