Newt (Carrie Henn) is pursued by a Xenomorph in Aliens.

Summary James Cameron addresses whether he would ever return to the Alien franchise. Released in 1986, Cameron's Aliens saw the return of Ellen Ripley alongside a team of trained marines after a space colony succumbs to the Xenomorph menace. Most recently, the franchise made a long-awaited return to the big screen with Alien: Romulus, as a group of young colonists stumble into a horrific scenario aboard an abandoned space station.

It’s kind of trampled ground at this point. I wouldn’t rule anything out but I’ve got 23 other projects in the queue before that hypothetical one so I’m going to guess, with me turning 70, that ain’t gonna happen. You’ve got to pick your battles at some point. You know what I mean? Despite veering into the action genre, Aliens remains incredibly faithful to its predecessor's mandate, while building on both its deeper themes, subtext, and on-screen horror.
