True, though he did seem to have a horrible death.

Well, The Ghost wasn't killed off and wasn't a Goofball, so there is a chance Kang will be played properly
I really hope that Antman 3 is having Kang as villian because its gonna be aFantastic Four prequel of sorts, and it makes a lot of sense, if F4 are actually team that was stuck in time or some negative zone or quantum realm. in any way I hope it's bigger story than first 2 movies that were fun in their own right but could be so much more.

They could get infinite mileage out of Kang if they do it right. I have always loved the time travel episodes on any of the sci fi shows I used to watch. I would like to see them do some retro time travel with Kang like they did with Star Trek deep space nine and the original Star Trek episodes with the Tribbles and Klingons.

He could reveal in the final showdown that it had been him the entire time creating all the chaos to lead up to the grand fanale.
Could be possible, I could see him at least being Victor Timely and hanging around the present day without anyone knowing

Ha! I see what you did there...
