Merging RidleyVerses
Although never intended to share the same movie universe, the 'Alien' and 'Predator' franchises are now linked thanks to two cross-over films.
'Prometheus' is set in the same universe and its DVD extras suggest that Blade Runner is also in the same timeline. This would add the upcoming Blade Runner project and 'Soldier'; a "sidequel"/spiritual successor to Blade Runner.
