Anecdotally, I find this very exciting:

What's Michael Biehn Doing Now in 2017 (c/o Gazette Review.com, Jan 2017)

Quote:

[Michael Biehn] reprised his role as Corporal Hicks in the game Aliens: Colonial Marines. The retconning his death in Alien 3 brought his character back to the land of the canonically living for future roles in the franchise...the possibilities of him returning to the Alien franchise and revitalizing his career as an action star have never been higher. Rumors of a fifth installment directed by Niel Blonkamp, director of District 9 and Elysium, have been circulating the internet. If these rumors of a soft reboot turn out to be true, we will get a sequel that will rectify the franchise’s mistakes of the past and put Biehn back in the spotlight as one of Hollywood’s greatest under appreciated action stars.

Michael Biehn himself confirmed that he’s expected to return as Hicks in the new movie...

Biehn is at least as important as Sigourney Weaver to the pre-wrecked franchise, IMO. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see what a treat it would be to bring Cpl. Hicks back to the big screen. Please, somebody tell me I'm not grasping at straws...
