Actress Sigourney Weaver has hinted she may return to her iconic role in a fifth installment of the Alien franchise.
Weaver starred as steely space Lieutenant Ellen Ripley in the cult sci-fi movies, last playing the character in 1997's Alien Resurrection.
And the star isn't ruling out a return to the big screen for another Alien film - insisting no one else could take on the role.
She says, "I would feel very weird if they brought her (Ripley) back and cast someone else."
But the actress insists she will only take on projects if the plotline works: "I don't care whether the budget is big or small, or if it's a lead role or not. If the story's good, I'm there."
