Oh, man. That makes sense... as far as the tie-in for the next AvP movie.
Rumor has it that the Alien: Romulus sequel will have a Predator in it to help lead into the AvP film that Fede and Trachtenberg have teased they would co-direct.
That’s interesting, I hadn’t heard that. I didn’t really like Romulus, personally, but I did think it established a lot of solid lore and was a good world building film. Doing a big Alien, Predator and potentially even Engineer crossover could be pretty awesome, if they do it right.

Yeah, if Fede involves a Predator in the next Alien film I think it will probably be relatively subtle. I don't see it being a big thing. But this seems to have a Weyland-Yutani synthetic as a pretty big element, so who knows.
And yes, I think that's why I'm curious to see how this is Predator film is, because it could influence future Alien/Engineer crossover ideas. My ideal wet dream would have been for a Prometheus sequel to be largely from the vantage point of an Engineer, like this film is for a Predator. Covenant was a terrible failure of imagination.
