You would probably get a kick out of the ALIEN RPG then, they add new aliens to the lore and I'm not just talking about xenomorphs. even if you are not into tabletop RPGs the game books are filled with additional lore bits that the films are too afraid to go.
Strange new normal alien animals
The Arcturians are given more attention
The black goo makes more monsters than just xenomorphs.
The Deacon and Trilobites now collectively part of the protomorph-line is explored more.
The Praetomorph "aka Planet 4/David's xenomorphs" are explored more.
Those exposed to the black goo are explored more.
So far they haven't explored too much of the Engineers yet, but hopefully we get an Engineer lore book.
Politics concerning the human-side of the alien franchise is explored more.
I wish that we'll get more about the Engineers, and not a repeat of what we've been given a lot. The franchise also contains various things, they don't need to have the Xeno every time. Please don't make it all about androids, and also give us human characters to care for that are well-written.
The skull in the concept art looks to be human, if that blue stuff is his helmet it kind of looks like the helmet from the Nostromo crew
I wonder if they would use Romulus in any meaningful way, is it the name of the ship? the name of the planet?
I see the RPG was trying to make sense of it all....
But in Regards to the Movie Canon.... we cant be sure if they will STICK to what the RPG Books had attempted to show... we will get some idea after the Movie and TV Series and any Comments that RS makes in the Aftermath.
".I wonder if the astronaut is ancient or its face was melted by xeno acid?"
I am going to GUESS.... this.
ALIEN: = Derelict Alien Ship and Discovery of Chest Busted Long Dead Pilot.
ALIEN ROMULUS: = Derelict W-Y Ship and the Discovery of Long Dead Human Crew (likely some Chest Busted).
Indeed its a Fan Made Poster...
Looking at the Cast and Plot... i think that ROMULUS may end up being a Working Title, and it could likely CHANGE.... even if NOT i cant see the Movie having any Connections to the Romulus Mythos.
Well hopefully next ALIEN DAY we will get Trailers, and Preview Posters and the like.
"Did David create the spores on Planet 4? "
Looking at the Evidence.... the Neomorph Spores are a Result of the Black Goo Leaking from the Canisters after the Crash and making its way down the Water Stream on the Mountains and Infecting some Native Fungi to EVOLVE them into the Neomorph Spores.
"well ignoring David being the xenomorph's creator, I think he still killed off the engineers and made his own variant of the xenomorph called Praetomorphs"
A lot depends on HOW MUCH they take the RPG as Canon.... its seems that Fede Alvarez's is insisting the MOVIE is Canon to the Prequels and will NOT go and Conflict what those Movies had shown.
With Ridley Scott on board it depends on HOW MUCH is HE wishing to STICK with what his Intentions were with the Xenomorph... which the LAST TIME he spoke about them, he implies that David's Creation has some WAY to GO before it EVOLVES to what we have in ALIEN.
Regarding the Engineers then YES they are LIKELY all GONE from Planet 4, but RS had indicated there are Engineers still around and that SOME would RETURN to PLANET 4..... but we dont know if he will be Following up on that...... i think the Engineers will NOT be seen again.... (does not mean they are GONE...)
"Must be green screen oriented"
I would say that YES this Movie will be like the Original ALIEN in that there will NOT be many Shooting Locations it will LIKELY had been Filmed in a Studio with a LOT of Green Screen.
"If this is a new colony planet..then I wonder how the xenomorph got there?"
This would seem to NOT be the Case....it seems the MOVIE is Basically going to be Very Close to ALIEN... its going to be NUTS/BOLTS like 80% the Same.
Hypothetical Spoilers...
It appears we will have a SHIP that has 5 Young Crew and a Android... we cant be sure of WHAT there Objective is..... maybe they are just going for a Space Cruise, anyway they will come Across some HOW a Weyland Yutani Space Ship which is Abandoned.... we cant be sure IF this W-Y SHIP is Floating in Space or Stranded upon some Planet.
It seems that some of the Crew Decide to go and Investigate out of Curiosity and ask the ANDROID to gain Access to the SHIP..... it seems likely they may Discover some Long Dead Skeletons of the W-Y Crew (maybe one or more Chest Bursted?).
One of the Young Explorers will be Infected with a Face Hugger and likely be taken back to their Ship (unless they Discover the W-Y Vessel on a Planet in which case maybe their Ship gets Stranded too).
It would seem the ANDROID will become the Antagonist again and will WISH to ensure the Survival of the Xenomorph...
With ONE MEMBER becoming the HOST we will likely have 1-2 Survivors (LETS HOPE ITS NOT... a Blow the Darn Thing out of the AIRLOCK/SHIP kind of Ending). We are likely to see the Remaining 4 Crew being Hunted Down by a LONE XENOMORPH.... where we will see another 2-3 Casualties.
Bottom Line..... it does-not seem it will DIFFER from ALIEN much, if they get Stranded on the Planet then it would be more a ALIEN COVENANT meets ALIEN 3 kind of Flick with LESS Humans being Hunted Down.
If this INDEED does seem to be the Case, then it really does-not offer much NEW and have to ASK what was the POINT..... likely to Soft-Retcon well to give the ALIEN Experience to a Younger Generation with a Younger Cast (i have a feeling they could be Annoying)...
But HOPEFULLY i am WAY OFF BASE here...

If it can melt through three hulls of space ship then melting through bone would be easy peasy
Hmm..I wonder if the astronaut is ancient or its face was melted by xeno acid?
Does xeno acid eat bones? You could have a vat of it, so you could dispose of your enemies, without leaving a trace of DNA.
Yes I know. I have watched Alien Covenant in theaters.
I sure hope we get a classical xenomorph in this film. When it comes to Human-birthed Xenomorphs, I prefer the snake-like chestbursters over the fully developed ones.
Some really nice concepts of the "Ancient city"

Nice to see Giger's Egg Silos
The creature is apparently referred as the "Titan Xenomorph".
And the "Space Jockeys" on the wall as the "Ancients".

. Trailer sounds good
Did some digging on this, this one turns out to be a fan made poster by Nuno Sarnadas, source 1, source 2.
Wasn't that added years after the movie came out? Because I don't recall Lambert being trans in the scripts.
well ignoring David being the xenomorph's creator, I think he still killed off the engineers and made his own variant of the xenomorph called Praetomorphs (its a name given to David's creation thanks to the Alien RPG).
The xenomorphs we seen in prior films (minus Resurrection and the AVP films) are of the original stock made by the Engineers.
That said to reiterate, the xenomorphs were not indigenous to Lv-426 and the xenomorphs on planet 4 are an offshoot species, not true xenomorphs. So where did the xenomorphs come from? If they were bioweapons, maybe they are grown in some sort of biomechanical weapons factory? If the Engineers released the xenomorphs on their ancient foes, possibly there could be hundreds if not thousands of worlds with xenomorphs hibernating beneath its surfaces.
@Xenotaris Interesting fact, Lambert is canonically trans, it was revealed in the movie Aliens.
"Subject is Despin Convert at birth (male to female). So far no indication of suppressed trauma related to gender alteration."
I consider David an unreliable narrator. I think he's lying about creating the xeno or killing the Engineers ( I think they were long dead by the time Shaw and David arrived ). Just his damaged/conflicted synthetic brain spewing nonsense.
But, there are Eggs on Planet 4 and LV426.
Right now, the history of the xenomorph is a complete mess and I'm fine with what ever they dream up.
(( Did David create the spores on Planet 4? The spores are far, far more dangerous then a Egg pod/ facehugger ( you can avoid a egg pod and even kill a facehugger )))
Well If its another colony world, maybe David didn't create the first xenomorph
If this is a new colony planet..then I wonder how the xenomorph got there?
There is only one set photo ...and it's hard to tell if it's aboard a spaceship or a building on the surface.
Also being a producer doesn't necessarily mean that Scott would have full creative control over the movie. Spielberg who directed the first Jurassic Parks was a big T. rex fan but he couldn't stop Johnson from incorporating the T. rex was a scavenger and a wuss into Jurassic Park 3, who Spielberg worked on as a producer.
first two Jurassic Parks*
MonsterZero
Who says its going to be set on LV-426? That would interfere with ALIENS, so I am guessing it will be set on a new planet.
I can't believe Ridley Scott would want to produce A:Romulus if it retconned ( or ignored ) his Prometheus or Covenant. It must be a plot that interested him or he'd probably just move on.
LV-223 is still a possibility for the colony. Tombs, Juggernauts, black goo cannisters laying around. it's far more Earthlike than LV426. 39 LY from Earth.
MonsterZero
The movie is going to be set between ALIEN and ALIENS, so if Covenant was set in 2104, Alien in 2122, and Aliens in 2179. Where looking at a ballpark figure of this movie being 30-70 years after Covenant.
So Origae 6 would have been long forgotten by this point in the storyline. Also I doubt Disney would want to continue off of Covenant's storyline.
I personally would have set the movie after ALIENS/ALIEN 3 but before Alien Resurrection.
Good, Stan Winston's team have returned to work on an Alien film
Why "Romulus" ? "When Romulus built a city wall, Remus jumped over it and was killed by his brother"
Is Romulus name of the colony or a starship? Will there even be a starship? Maybe the colony is settled and they were just dropped shipped? I doubt they would name the movie after another starship.
Plot is "On a distant colony, the group finds themselves in a fight for their lives with the titular alien."
Sounds like they are on Origae 6. David is dead or has moved on. maybe get to see what happed to David's victims?
This must be 90% digital movie, limited sets. Saves them money....but they must have had a set that was real?
So there isn't any set photos? Must be green screen oriented. Not showing a set is disturbing. I don't expect them to rebuild the derelict set...but show us some spaceship interiors please.

Its secondary jaws
I can't wait to see the trailer now
