Should Ridley Scott make a sequel to Alien: Covenant or create something new?

With news of Ridley Scott being open to returning to direct a third Alien prequel potentially, what direction would you want him to take? An Alien: Covenant sequel where David and the fate of the Covenant are revealed? Or a completely different story set before the events of his 1979 original?

Personally, I want to see what happened with David and his ship full of crew on board the Covenant. That film left on such an epic cliffhanger, I've always wanted that story to conclude.

Yes, follow up on Covenant so we could finally (hopefully) get some well deserved closure. Leaving Daniels and Tennessee in the freezer for evil David to plan his experimental cooking is just foul lol. Have David cornered by a pissed off mob of surviving colonists armed with colonial farming tools, and let them go full medieval on his milky android ass. Shred him to bits and blow him out the airlock through his favorite flute to the tune of Einzug der Götter in Walhall by Das Rheingold Prodigy Remix.

*Credits roll*

That's quality writing right there. Anyway I can't stand David but that's a testament to how well Michael Fassbender portrays the vile mastermind. It would also be a perfect opportunity to flesh out his motives beyond passionately creating, philosophing and destroying. Wickedness aside he's an interesting multifaceted character not entirely unlike Tony Soprano or Patrick Bateman and surely he must've evolved a lot during the journey towards Origae-6, his own giant canvas for sure.

Realistically though I don't think a sequel will happen. Will Michael, Katherine Waterston and Danny McBride be interested at this point, 8 years after the release of Covenant? Maybe, hopefully. Who knows but fingers crossed that it'll happen and more importantly that it will at least be above average.

A focus on the human characters, more about the Engineers, no David, make sure that David isn't responsible for the monster or is the one in the chair. Keep Scott away from the writing and let him be involved with the art department. Don't cut character-development for run-time (Prometheus). Enough of the AI-thing

I'm all for it. I just hope it doesn't connect to the LV 426 Derelict like he's suggested in the past. Leave that a mystery. I don't think answer to that Will ever satisfy. I'm curious about Origae 6 being acknowledged in Romulus. I had to track down the image (thank you Reddit), look far right. Was Origae 6 colonized after all? Did David actually go there?

Also according to the original post "The entry of the gods into Valhalla" can be faintly heard during this scene.

Katherine Waterstone and Michael Fassbender had expressed interest in returning earlier this year. If McBride isn't interested they can just give him the ol' Hicks/Newt/Shaw treatment lol
