Although we don't know practically nothing about the premise of this movie, I have my doubts about the size of the Engineers. What would be the solution to this "plot hole"?

And only if we see something related to the Space Jockeys in the final film:
1. They will say to us that the ancient Engineers are higher than those who are young?
2. That there are two different species?
3. Or they will ignore this detail in order to respect that new concept from Prometheus? (Ie Engineers equivalent in size to these humanoids that we saw in Prometheus?)
4. Another possibility would be something similar to Alien Isolation: Ignore, while not contradicting anything at all. Just show us a Juggernaut without going too deeply into its true nature.

I wouldn't put stock in that article but I can DEFINITELY see the two parts of the series connecting up. It seems like they are pretty much guaranteed to connect at some point.
Quote from: tmjhur on Mar 09, 2015, 11:52:29 PMAbsolutely, according to Scott the script for Prometheus 2 is ready, Blomkamp has also shown fox his ideas for Alien 5, which includes the derelict engineer craft and Ripley in the space jockey suit. Fox know this is a big opportunity for them to bring closure to Ripleys story and answer some of the questions about the derelict engineer craft, plus build on the existing Prometheus mythology. So making the two films overlap can potentially draw a bigger audience and is a potential money spinner for Fox, plus answering more questions about the engineers in general by exploring the derelict craft. Both scripts will still go through many changes throughout production (an example to look at is the furious gods documentries included with the prometheus collectors edition blu ray) and as we know the Alien 5 script is not confirmed as being completed, i wonder has Blomkamp given his opinion of Prometheus?. I think both scripts will go through many changes, was the jockey from the derelict a superior elder engineer? he is certainly substantially larger in size, does he have the same motive as the engineer in Prometheus?. Answering more questions in Alien 5 would also give the creative team and script writers alot more room to explore the engineers too, it's a high probability both films will connect and i wouldn't put it past fox to use Alien 5 as the jumping off point to begin a new alien trilogy with new characters too.

Doesnt really confirm anything with certainty. I really hope Alien V doesnt directly tie into Prometheus-canon too much or at all for that matter. Please no albino humans playing flutes for Christ's sake...
With the exception of AVP, which to me should just be it's own series of films, separate from PREDATOR and ALIEN franchises (so it is liberated from them), I am of the strict opinion that nothing should ignore anything that happened prior to it. Prometheus made A3 and A:R better films if you ask me.
