Alien vs. Predator - Timeline

Apparently Predator Kills the Marvel Universe is happening, and it's a sequel to the previous Predator crossovers. Likely a branch of Earth-7642 if not an entirely new universe. Hey, depending on who dies, it could be in the AvA timeline.
 
Okay, so what's left? Alien: Earth shorts, the crossover comics (probably best in their own section - especially since I'm pretty sure PKTMU will be very impactful in-universe), Blade Runner stuff (probably best in the head-canon timeline only - besides, it's already got a standalone one), and... a few new Marvel comics? This timeline doesn't seem so hard to maintain!

Wait, what do you mean there's 50 novels? Noooooo, I can't read!

@Megatron If you go back to it, are you gonna look into Independence Day for the Head-Canon timeline? :p
 
Also, temporary placement for Badlands is 2143. Unless we get a year, I think it makes sense to place it in real time post-Romulus. A bit of speculation, but they might be using that space for a sort-of mini-shared universe model between Alien and Aliens.

I've always wanted a standalone Predator film set in the future that acknowledges stuff from the Alien universe.

There a few sites out there that have dating for the various alien novels. The predator ones are a little more vague but there are also less of them.

Until It doesn't get a direct crossover like a comic, I'll ignore It.

‘Predator: Badlands’ – Dan Trachtenberg Previews His “Big, Crazy Swing” [Interview]

With the upcoming animated anthology movie Predator: Killer of Killers, Dan Trachtenberg imagines how Yautja warriors would fare against earthly rivals from different warfare eras. Exciting, right? Well, Predator: Badlands is an even bigger swing. As revealed in its first trailer, Trachtenberg’s...

As a bit, Trachtenberg asked us if we had theories about Fanning's top-secret character. A fellow journalist suggested she's a hunter from another planet. But someone else noted she has an android-esque mannerism and posed the possible Alien tie to Weyland-Yutani. Trachtenberg smirked, chuckled, and gave us a sly, "Yes, she does." Is this just the tricky lead-on of a creator keeping our minds racing? Or is it unclear confirmation that we'll be seeing the Predator and Alien universes colliding again soon? "There's a unique hook to her character that is exciting in the pairing of [her and Dek]." Get to speculating, internet.

Very clearly confirming the Weyland-Yutani connection.

While this is a standalone Predator entry, Trachtenberg still can't help throwing Easter Eggs in to appease franchise fans. Early in the film, Dek is cycling through holograms, or there's a trophy case that'll be worth a giggle. Humans being so low on the competition ranking alone has its comedic appeal. Oh, and no, that's not a Starship Troopers nod, even though it looks like one (we tried).

Trophy case obviously referring to the Independence Day connection. Where's our Harvester vs. Predator crossover comic, Marvel? "Welcome to Yautja Prime", right? No? No, I guess we get Predator versus Spider-Man instead...
