Do they have any appearances from any original cast members? Sigourney Weaver? Lance Henriksen?(he was in the 2nd and last)

From what I understand, no. But it's also to take place WAY before the original movie. And answer some of the seemingly random questions. When I watched the first full trailer not knowing it was supposed to be a prequel, I saw enough imagery (the life-support pods, the eggs, etc) that made me wonder if Ridley Scott had just plain run out of ideas. Now I get it. And the dead giveaway was that they mention the Weyland Corporation (obviously a precursor to the Weyland-Yutani Corp).
I read the gist of a review on RottenTomatoes after learning this and the vibe was that it combines the suspense horror of the first film with the raw action of the 2nd.
