Anything anyone here might be able to shed a tad more light on regarding that? I hadn't heard that name before this podcast.
Destiny was indeed the name of the next Alien film, the final in Ridley's prequel trilogy. Prometheus was also going to be rebranded to ALIEN: Prometheus to match ALIEN: Covenant and ALIEN: Destiny before they killed it all.
Some plot points were that David was going to be eventually Facehugged and that would lead into the biomechanical Xeno design we know now. He was going to become the true father of that xenomorph breed. Somehow would have lead directly into the Nostromo landing on LV-426. David probably was the one who set off the distress call.
They had a hard time lining it up with the timeline because of how fossilized everything is in ALIEN when the crew finds the Jockey. There's probably more I know, just need to try to find my notes.

I remember post-Covenant Ridley talked a little bit about some remaining Engineers being pissed at David and going after him. Any idea if that would have still held true in this "Alien: Destiny" iteration of the Covenant sequel? Maybe one of them might have even been the particular Space Jockey from the chair in Alien, if the plan was to link so directly with the original film.
We're going to have to settle for this😅
I just want season 3...
