I'd argue though that there is something very inherently feminine about the Alien universe, with all the impregnation, egg sacs and such. So much of Giger's work was about the trauma of birth and reproduction, and these themes are deep within the lore of the Xenomorph. Even though Ripley was cast based on merit and not based on her being a female, I feel as though of all franchises, this one makes the most sense for a female lead. I can't speak on Spaeny's talent though, I haven't heard of her before.
The previous two movies both starred wooden blocks along side Michael Fassbender. They can't find a compelling actress. Disney thinks using a real doll will get it done.
Spoiler alert

I didn't mind the first Don't Breathe, but everything else from Fede Alvarez has been... uninspiring.
Also I have no idea who this girl is, but she was in Pacific Rim 2, so I'm inclined to dislike her automatically.
That franchise had so much potential.
Then they made PR electric boogaloo.
black powa and girl powa IIRC the first 20 minutes. I couldnt watch it past that. I mean boyyyyyy being in it was already a black eye.
A new alien vs frump is coming everybody
Who the fuck is Cailee Spaeny?
A real doll.

new progressive transgender character: men can give birth too, cishet scum!
xenos: everyone can give birth.
The xenomorph is basically a walking penis.
Nothing said about that.
