Prometheus 3: Eden (2025) – “The beginning was never meant to be understood.”

The mysteries of creation, the wrath of gods, and the horrors lurking in deep space return in Prometheus 3: Eden, the long-anticipated continuation of Ridley Scott’s visionary Alien prequel universe. After Prometheus (2012) and Alien: Covenant (2017), this third chapter promises to close the loop between the birth of humanity’s darkest myths and the rise of its most terrifying nightmare — the Xenomorph.
🛸 Plot Concept (Speculative but True to Canon):
Following the harrowing events of Covenant, David (Michael Fassbender) journeys deeper into the cosmos with his stolen Engineer vessel, carrying thousands of colonists — and the evolving blueprint for biological perfection. His goal? Not just to play god, but to build a new Eden… where obedience is absolute and life answers only to him.
But something ancient stirs in the depths of uncharted space — a signal of Engineer origin from a forbidden planet long erased from the stars. What David uncovers may undo everything he believes… or fulfill it in the most monstrous way possible.
Meanwhile, a rogue Weyland-Yutani mission, led by a morally conflicted AI hybrid and a biologist haunted by LV-223’s past, sets out to stop David — or claim his creation for military supremacy.
