If AVP becomes canon, it will require they explain David is no the father of Xenomorphs, but simply found the recipe the Predators in AVP and AVPR did.
No son, AvP is canon, but only to the Predator movies.
None of which are canon to the Alien movies.
Or at least, this seems to be how recent creators and a lot of the more up to date fans are rolling with it.

AvP was retconned by Prometheus detaching the prequels and subsequently the Alien film franchise entirely from AvP.
Do you think a Promethean sequel could reconcile the franchises?
The biggest issue is Xenomorphs in 2004.

I think it's tricky but possible, but that would have to be over Ridley Scott's dead body.
Plus, I just don't think there's enough of an upswell of fan desire to re-link the two quite frankly. It's been my experience you'll find more fan desire to retcon Ridley's prequels as well, and both AvPs and David will be on the outside looking in.

Yup, and he said the first two were younger than that, hence no scars on them.
Well AVP isn't canon, so Anderson's sentiments are simply that.

If you go by Paul Anderson, Scar is older than the first two Predators.
I do not go by Paul Anderson.
