The first part of the trailer is just the setup of the game.

The meat of Prim4, I believe will be time travel. Samus will travel back and forth with things changing in the present of things she experiences in the past. This will be the mechanics and exploration 'hook'.

The location? Tallon4! Samus always returns to a previously visited planet to have it blow up in the end.

I believe the end of the trailer is Tallon4 in the past.

This would be cool and very interesting, but it's hard to believe when you provide no information as to why you believe this. 

You mind providing some explanation as to why you believe that?

Nintendo is always looking at a new twist with their games. As a search action game, they need to different things with exploration.

The first Prime had the first person perspective as a novelty, Prime2 had the light/dark world and Prime3 multiple planets. So they did this already, so something new needs to happen.

Time travel makes sense for me to have progression puzzles using the 2 time lines. Similar to Prime2's two dimensions.

Tallon4? Because Samus goes back to previous visited planets all the time (and blows them up). Essentially in a past time you could find the Chozo ruins, when they were not ruins yet and could meet chozo. I think Metroid likes to do call backs to previous games to keep the overall story focussed.

(No, I don't have an uncle working at Nintendo, so yes this is speculation)
