I know some folks are still holding out hope for a retcon of this (and the Space Jockey) in the next Alien film, but I woudn't hold my breath. Really the only thing that keeps that a possibility is the fact that at the end of Covenant we are flying away from the Juggernaut. While the Juggernaut and the Derelict were never the same ship it means we need to find another Engineer/Jockey outpost if we're going to connect up with Alien. If we don't then David's aliens can't be the same as what we saw in the original film.
Too true, and given the relative disappointing financial returns for Covenant, we may not see another film for some time.
At least with Covenant they (sorta) realized people wanted good action/bug hunts with their Alien film. Put more emphasis on that and you might entice audiences back. Heck they even knew that for Alien Resurrection (ok the "good" there is debatable).
Or, you know, bring back the Colonial Marines
