Prometheus 2?

Following the reports that Noomi Rapace is on board if there is to be a sequel, she then confirmed that Ridley Scott has been working on a script for the past few weeks. Neither was giving anything away when discussing what direction the sequel would take, after the events of the first film it's difficult to see what will happen and considering the negative reception whether it is worth pursuing at all.

I actually liked Prometheus more than most (review here), whilst there were a few plot holes and a very similar premise to the original films in how it developed, I found it visually stunning in IMax with a superb performance by Michael Fassbender as the android David. With it being released as a big blockbuster it was always going to be more about the tension, visual effects and action towards the end than a particularly clever storyline which would be resolved by the films end. Ridley Scott now has an opportunity to save the franchise with an intriguing sequel but he has his work cut out.

Noomi Rapace as Elisabeth Shaw

The main question will be what will happen to the remaining crew of Shaw (Rapace) and David (Fassbender) as they are the only two remaining crew members who seemed to survive and escape the planet in an Engineer spacecraft. Obviously we saw the Alien offspring battle with the Engineer at the end which ends with an Alien creature bursting out of the Engineer's chest, presumably this creature is what develops into the nemesis for Ripley in the early Alien films. Whether they will re-appear in the Prometheus franchise remains to be seen but will Shaw actually get answers to why the Engineers wanted to wipe out mankind? Will David now be different as he is free from his masters commands? How will the relationship between Shaw and David play out based on what they now know? Lets hope this time we get more answers than questions.
