next movie david will be stopped by a genetically modified predator which we will see in 'The Predator', and we will learn that the giant pred is the space jockey. fast forward a dozen years later, old ripley is looking for some answers on the original objective (special order xxxx), and locates these coordinates. she gets there and finds out like the engineer in prometheus was incryo, shaw is still in cryo.
she wakes her up. stories will be shared. david reappears after having downloaded his conciousness into an alien trapped against a wall.
a predator appears out of nowhere whilst a predalien pops from its chest. a neomorph suddenly pops out to eat the predalien. the predship will decloak and show them they're in the matrix and it's all a dream.
yes it makes no sense, but i think 90% on what to happen to shaw is similarly nonsense.
