Alien Hive Confirmed

Time for one of my analytical posts, I think. A question a lot of people have been wondering is where do the aliens come from in AvP2? That's still speculation, but we've spoken to a couple of crew members and we can reveal that there will be a hive, most likely in the sewers - hence why the Predator was down there in the ADI Book picture. This could also explain why the aliens in AvP2 have ridged heads - like in Aliens - due to them being in a hive setting.
Well, that was most likely to do with the fact they were hibernating too and were a lot older so I don't think AvP2's story will be able to get around that. Okay, a hive isn't big news but wouldn't the presence of a hive indicate that a Queen would have to be in AvP2? So the question becomes where does the Queen come from? Here's my little theory about that.
AvP2 will obviously follow on from AvP with the Hybrid. That has been established. My theory is that the Hybrid kills all/most Predators on the ship, causing the ship to crash back onto Earth. Now, on the ship, there happens to be some Facehuggers (or Alien Eggs), one of which happens to be a Queen Facehugger (Just like in Alien 3) and they were being held as specimens. It's not that far-fetched that the Predators could have them stored in stasis or something. Anyway, carrying on from the story, the Predalien survived the crash as did the Facehuggers and they are let loose into the town. Eventually, they infect people and there ya go. A Queen is born. They find themselves in the sewers where the hive is created.
As Colin Strause said, there will be more than three Aliens so the Eggs have to come from somewhere. Unless of course, the Aliens feature the egg-morphing ability that was seen in the Alien Director's Cut. Problem with that though, is a lot of people don't understand/accept it.
There are still arguments as to why the Queen might not be in AvP2 too. One is the budget, a Queen isn't cheap, you know. But ADI could have used the Queen from AvP instead of building a new one from scratch to save money. And two, how on earth would one Predator take down all these aliens, a Predalien and a Queen by itself? It's clear that all the Aliens have to die in the end, otherwise that's continuity out the window. Steven Pasquale also said that their story is more about survival than killing the creatures and we also know there won't be any Predator-Human teamups. Thus, I doubt the Predator will be getting any help this time around. Unless of course, the military does the job.
Anyway, that's my thoughts on how a Queen might appear in AvP2.
