A lot could have happened inbetween that, and they could explain a bit more about how Ripley managed to end up with a face hugger. Not too sure how they will work around Sigourney's age, she looks a lot different now.

Well he said he doesn't want to, not that for sure he's going to keep them canon. Neill has voiced that he only cares about the first two for story and approach, technically he could call Alien 3 and Resurrection fever-dreams, or hallucinations, or whatever and therefor they could be viewed as still relative to the canon. I wonder if Neill Blomkamp is talking with Ridley Scott about anything that might be in Prometheus 2 so he doesn't possibly step on his toes there. Really there's no way to put this between Aliens and Alien 3 and still keep Alien 3 and Resurrection a part of the canon the way they were, Ripley's age difference being the immediate cause of doubt, but also Hick's condition and appearance. Unless they say that the characters in Alien 3 who crashed are clones or something. Either way this officially disconnects Aliens: Colonial Marines from the canon for sure now, so that's already a great silver lining.
