Honestly, I was skeptical that the xenomorph would make an appearance despite the rumors. It just seems like, from a narrative standpoint, that the events in Covenant and the next sequel(s) would ultimately lead up to the original Alien film. Now that we know we're getting at least one xenomorph, it'll be interesting to see how Scott plans on connecting these films. I honestly thought the xenomorph made more sense ( chronologically ) making its first appearance in Alien. The neomorphs and the Deacon and all the inbetweens make sense, but damn, if we're getting the xenomorph so early in the mythos that kind of takes away from the original film a little bit imo.
