I keep seeing the theory that Fassbender's android character, David, will be the first xenomorph and that he mutates via that goo he touches from the canister.
Dunno if it's right, but I'm seeing that theory everywhere. Clearly, there's some mutation going on, because we've seen several glimpses of it in the trailers now.. even the opening scene in this one shows what I'm assuming is a Space Jockey seemingly mutating, with veins popping and stuff.
