If that's the case, I wonder if it will be the 'obvious' one...and I also wonder if most fans will be satisfied with it, if it is?...
I guess that will depend on how good Blomkamp's version is, if it actually appears... :dodgy:
Honestly I agree that any time travel thing and any "3 and 4 were all a dream" could be seen as very lazy depending of the way it is told.
Another thing (but I doubt it) would be that Ridley Scott could introduce a new thing in Alien Convenant (a plot, a piece of technology,...) that could explain some things for a future Alien 5.
I'm always for more connection between those movies. The "Alien vs Predators" are already deconnected from what we could call the "Alien canon" but I can see them as fun fan fiction because they don't have Sigourney in them, they are not directed by Scott and they have enough characters and events tha contradict the other movies that it's not even questionable.
The story of Prometheus was so... it's own thing, that we can see it as a side story in the same universe and Ridley now says that the future movies he'll make will connect with Alien. So if they really make that Alien 5 any time soon, maybe some elements could be related to Scott's movies.
Just "thinking out loud" here...
