I'd like to see some Japanese or just some sort of asian characters in this fancy new Alien(s) cinema extravaganza! You know, since we likely have W-Y, which is a mix of Western (Brit/American) and Japanese companies. (Alien 3 of course had a nod to this with some Japanese W-Y technicians at the end.)
Since people have mentioned BSG (which I'm a fan of) I'll suggest Grace Park. She's not Japanese, but it's a step towards a little bit of a wider ethnic mix beyond the usually heavy American and British casts of an Alien film. Not to force "diversity" just for the sake of it. Here it makes sense as not only would the interstellar future setting likely be more ethnically mixed, but we do have a strong Japanese presence in the Alien mythos.
How about Ken Watanabe as a W-Y exec? Another possibility is Hiroyuki Sanada of recent science fiction dramas Helix and Extant.
Breaking Bad's Tuco (Raymond Cruz) was already in Alien Resurrection, but darn it if it wouldn't be fun to see him as some sort of hard ass space trucker or member of a deep space salvage team. I mean if this is truly a retcon or alternate sequel continuity...
I don't know if there are any Black Sails fans here, but there are two actors in that who could be interesting in an Alien film. Zach McGowan, who plays pirate Capt. Charles Vane would make for a good space trucker or mercenary. There's also Toby Stephens of Die Another Day fame (or is it infamy), who is also Capt. Flint on Black Sails, and would be a interesting choice for a W-Y exec, space trucker, scientist, or synthetic.

-Mitch Pileggi
Xenos wouldn't have a chance against Mitch Pileggi. Not sure he can be in it for that reason.
Is everyone going to be bald in this one? Maybe it truly is some bizarro world Alien 3?

Any and all people from the BSG cast.
You guys also think BSG was one of the best sci fi series ive seen in the last 15 years? i watched it recently all the seasons and movies,
it was f**king epic!! this was so underrated as f**k.
"It's in the FRAKKINNN SHIPPP!!!!"
The new BSG is one of my favorite shows. Maybe my top favorite TV series, both drama or in sci-fi. It's up there with the original Twilight Zone and Outer Limits, and The X-Files, Star Trek, Star Trek TNG.
If you haven't already, check out Farscape. It's a bit zany and some of the effects are a bit dated (but cool, since there's lots of puppets and practical effects work). It's sort of like Blake's 7 meets Guardians of the Galaxy, but a little darker in some ways and just a ton of fun. It's even got a biomechanoid ship that is slightly reminiscent of Giger's stuff. Although not as psychosexual.
