Can we get a sequel?

My idea for a sequel would be almost like
Aliens
, it being a direct sequel, with MacReady and Childs as returning characters. I'd set it in McMurdo Station in Antarctica, as it would still retain the claustrophobic atmosphere, but also bring the threat of the Thing one step closer to reaching civilization. And as I would in my own monster/outbreak stories, I'd have a human villain - a high-ranking military scientist - to act as a foil to the protagonists, and have him end up being infected into the final Thing for the climax.
And P.S., I agree the prequel is not that bad, I do salute the filmmakers for trying to not go the route of simply
remaking
the 1982 film, rather going for making a prequel.
Now it'd be cool to see a sequel to the 1982 film be made, cause then
The Thing
could potentially be called a trilogy, or tetralogy if you count the 1951 film.

Here is my own Sequel Idea below!
"In January of 1983, an American Rescue Team of 7 people arrive at the burned remains of "OUTPOST 31" where they find the frozen dead bodies of MacReady and Childs. They want to take the 2 bodies back to McMurdo Base but because a large storm is lying between them and McMurdo, they decide to head to another nearby American Base called "OUTPOST 28" which consists of 12 people and stay there until the storm passes over them. However, while there the 2 bodies of MacReady and Childs both transform into monsters beginning the madness all over again. Then to make matters even worse, a 10-Person Soviet Military Team arrives at "OUTPOST 28" with the intention of capturing the monster by any means necessary and killing anyone who gets in their way." -

I didn't like it at first. I saw it recently and it is pretty disgusting. In the prequel The Thing is a vicious killing machine than the original movie. The original, it did sneak attacks until it was big enough and cornered. The new Thing was just a nasty little aggressive alien from the start.

Exactly why I liked it. I'm also a fan of Joel Edgerton, and I thought the rest of the cast were fine. It wasn't as tense as the original, but I still enjoyed it.
