A new interview with 20th Century Films boss Steve Asbell has shined light on the ins and outs of the studio. THR say down with the president of the studio to talk about everything including a secretly filmed Predator film and the odds of an Alien Vs. Predator film.

First off, here’s what he had to say about a sequel to Alien: Romulus.

We’re working on a sequel idea now. We haven’t quite closed our deal with Fede [Alvarez], but we are going to, and he has an idea that we’re working on. The two survivors, Rain and Andy, played by Cailee Spaeny and David Jonsson, were real highlights of the film. And so I always think of it like, “Wow, where do people want to see them go next?” We know there’s going to be aliens. We know there’s going to be great horror set pieces. But I fell in love with both of them and I want to see what their story is.

They did rapid fire questions about movies including Free Guy 2, Kingsman, Agatha Christie mystery movies, and more. Here’s what he had to say about all of them.

Lightning round on 20th Century titles! Free Guy 2?

Not yet. [Shawn Levy and Ryan Reynolds] have to come up with an idea. And they’re just busy.

Kingsman sequels or prequels.

There’s no plans on doing them anytime soon.

More Agatha Christie mystery movies.

More, yes. We have, And Then There Were None. We have Witness for the Prosecution. We’re doing Miss Marple. There’s a bunch of other titles that we’re working on. We have very close relationship with the estate.

A Master and Commander prequel?

I’m trying so hard. It’s the first movie I worked on at Fox twenty years ago. We have a great script. It just needs the right director.

Any Die Hard plans?

No, not yet.

The biggest announcement from this interview was that a secret Predator movie from director Dan Trachtenberg is on the way, in addition to his movie Predator: Badlands.

Yes, a Predator movie will have a theatrical. I’ll tell you very simply. After Prey became a success, Dan [Trachtenberg] came back and said he didn’t want to do Prey 2. And we’re like, “What do you want to do?” And he rattled off a bunch of ideas that were really crazy but really cool. We’ve actually done two of them. Two are coming out next year. One I can’t talk about yet, but the other one is the live-action Predator film with Elle Fanning that just wrapped in New Zealand. That’ll be out theatrically sometime next year.

That’s a lot of information about the upcoming slate for 20th Century Studios. They’re quickly becoming a favorite for genre films. We’ll keep you updated on the two new Predator movies as we get more information.
