I wonder if it will have him playing the piano to open the trailer?

Well your statement is the best indicator of great difference within Alien fanbase.

This image is great... Very reminiscent of 2001 Space Odyssey. I think this
particular scene will contain most of the philosophical connotations and symbols the rest
of the movie will pursue to explore. It ll also provide some interesting hints of David's nature, soul
and his "intentions".

Oddly this is the first still that has done nothing for me upon viewing it. Ok so it's David at a piano.

Spoiler
It's the beginning of the movie.

Very possibly. This movies are all about him, or rather about creations. Even original movies are about creation,
conception and the fear of unknown. He, David, as an android is human creation and also the latest one (in Alien universe chain of events).
Nature boy is the song featured in the trailer, so the opening scene of the trailer will most probably be some
scene with David because he is that "strange enchanted boy".

Song featured in the trailer. Nature boy
They ll probably use Aurora's cover or perhaps David Bowie's version.

Thats the trick William Potter, not minding who that is... :D
Whether it is David or Walter, it is all the same at the very end.

Yeah this image is great. My favorite yet. Ambitious and deep opening for an Alien film.

Definitely a large white room, although we can't see the ocean in this picture.

Spoiler
The current edit of Alien: Covenant begins with David 8 being brought online in a large white room with a grand view overlooking an ocean.

A younger, but still somewhat aged, Weyland asks David various questions to test him. We eventually move to David performing Richard Wagner's Entrance of the Gods into Valhalla, explaining the meaning of the piece as he plays.
