I've had the idea for a while of how they could correct something a lot of people didn't like, by David being confronted by the Engineers with their own Aliens (that are ancient) and condemning his facsimiles and his pride.
If Ridley is going to address the fact that the original Space Jockey was ancient, and the temples in Prometheus were ancient; this idea seems to be the only logical way to tie up the loose ends. That what David has created is in fact inferior to what the Engineers have already created.
David has some serious aspirations (as based on the Advent feature) to use his creations to "rule the galaxy." The next film would not be interesting story-wise if David remains at the top of the hill. There needs to be a plot line that topples him, and a far more sophisticated Alien creature, created on an unknown off-world base, that comes into the picture to destroy what David has done seems to be the only way this story can properly advance.
