While Fox is gearing up to bolster its X-Men and Fantastic Four franchises, the studio is also looking at Ridley Scott to bring more sci-fi wizardry to the big screen. According to an article over at The Wrap, Fox is apparently looking to release a sequel to Scott’s Prometheus some time during March of 2016. Additionally, the site is reporting that Michael Green (Green Lantern) will serve as the writer of the film, replacing Jack Paglen, who wrote the movie’s original draft.

Green has worked with Scott before on the potential sequel to Blade Runner. No plot details have been released yet, but the site is claiming that the movie will feature multiple versions of Michael Fassbender’s David android, who played a big role in the first movie. Production on Prometheus 2 is expected to start this fall, after Scott finishes up with his biblical epic, Exodus.
