Referring to the legendary Nick Cave script that was never filmed...and which I'm hoping is back in the mix:

this isn't hard, people - pretty sure the black goo can bring people back from the dead. failing that, maximus could always return as a xenomorph. lot of dramatic possibilities there and i think it'd answer the 'big questions' we all had after the first film. at the least it now seems clear that 'oromotheud' is a roman name, or perhaps thracian. all my fanboy hairs are tingling - i'm ready to start camping out for opening night! i'm sure i speak for tracer on this also.

The Blade Runner sequel will tie in to all this as well. We're essentially seeing the creation of the Ridley Cinematic Universe.
Xenomorph, Deckard and Maximus will all team up Avengers-style to fight the true threat to the universe, last seen floating in the galactic void much like Thanos:

I'm looking forward to seeing Russell Crowe play both a xenomorph gladiator and Robin Hood. The biggest outstanding question at this point is whether the black goo could work to bring back Thelma and/or Louise, or whether it'll be retconned that the '66 Thunderbird was actually an early model of the flying 'Spinners' from Blade Runner. There's also a fan theory going around in the last forty-eight seconds that, possible spoilers, it'll turn out the black goo was actually the 'black rain' from the film of the same title. Not sure how I feel about that one but I'm confident Scott can make it work since clearly it is something he feels really passionately about.
To be honest, a part of me is starting to worry that he failed to learn anything from the botched launch of DC's universe (sorry, BvS:DoJ fans!) and is trying to do too much with one movie. You have to build to these things organically. Still, Tracer and I are super stoked to finally see the factory where the downed Black Hawk was assembled - I mean that's a story we've all been wanting to see for the last sixteen years, and it's essentially criminal that Scott refused to answer these nagging questions for so long.

try the "VERT" and "HORIZ" knobs, sometimes that kicks the narrative into gear.

now and then i wonder if it's meant to be a comedy (not that it works as one, but there's a kind of slapstick rhythm to some of the scenes)
