I have a feeling that the 6th series of Ben 10 will be a sequal to the reboot. That will be hero generations Charmcaster will replace ben.

@GoodVibes1999 I actually think Albedo was created to replace Kevin as "Evil Ben" after AF writers decided to make Kevin the hero of the show.
Is Kevin confirmed to appear in the reboot? I think he is kind of a "toxic" character to use now. Obviously, MOA originally intended him to be a villain (The OS episode "Ken 10" is proof that MOA never wanted to redeem Kevin), but now it would be hard to write him the way they want without getting backlash from a lot of AF/UA/OV fans, so maybe they will simple ignore him instead - Or not, since they are already getting backlash from fans anyway xD
[Por falar nisso, você sabe se já começou a passar aqui no Brasil?]
MOA confirmed that kevin was always supposed to be redeemed.

Actually, MoA said Kevin and Charmcaster were always supposed to be “anti-hero foils to Ben and Gwen”, that's very different from redemption. Take X-Men comics as an example, Magneto is an anti-hero foil to Charles Xavier. Magneto can even do good sometimes and join forces with the X-Men, but he always retains his shady personality and never becomes a "good guy". Based on all the evidence from OS, I'm sure MoA wouldn't do anything remotely alike to what AF did, making Kevin into Ben's BFF and Gwen's boyfriend, and retconing almost everything from his past (Max and Kevin's dad were partners and friends? Max didn't even know Kevin in OS.)

Speaking of Kevin and composite characters, if you read up about the reboot Frightwig on TvTropes, it explains that she's a composite character. Frightwig displays characteristics of being mischievous like Ben but in a more villainous way as well as TvTropes pulling out parallels with Frightwig's hair and Ben's Omnitrix. Basically, TvTropes compares Frightwig to Kevin, saying how she has similar personalities to Ben but darker much like Kevin did in the Original Series, thus acting as Ben's evil counterpart. I guess I kind of see that in her. So for anyone that thinks that Frightwig is more interesting, this is why. I guess the reboot Frightwig is the new Kevin here. Maybe. However, this created a big concern for me.
IF this really is how they're portraying Frightwig in the Ben 10 reboot, then what does that mean for Kevin? Is he going to make an appearance? If so, how is he going to be portrayed? What makes Kevin at his best is him being that very true evil counterpart to Ben and as I explained many times in the past, Kevin doesn't work well outside of that. To me, it feels like they dug themselves into a corner with these characters.
If they bring back Kevin and make him like he was in the Original Series, then the changes they made to Frightwig in the reboot are pretty much pointless. Instead of taking Frightwig and changing her, they could've just bring back Kevin instead. If they bring back Kevin and they change him to be different from his Original Series self, then that would undermine Kevin as a character and his purpose as a villain. If they decide not to bring Kevin back, then they lose one of the most significant and necessary villains in the franchise and the reboot will get hit hard for that. At least that's my take on it.
@Omni-Triforcer Duncan Rouleau confirmed that Kevin was supposed to be an anti-hero. Even then, if they stuck to the Ben 10,000 future shown in the Original Series, then that would mean that eventually Kevin would end up going back to his old ways and being a villain again.
@Tactical-Ochoa Very interesting. Speaking for myself, I didn't pick up on any similarities between Reboot Frightwig and Kevin. I think it might be just a coincidence, or maybe someone reading too much in between the lines. I liked Reboot Frightwig, and I don't think it would hurt her portrayal to have Kevin around as a villain too.

i honestly didn't have a problem with kevin and ben being best friends in UAF it kinda gave ben that older brother figure that he could look up to in certain situations like when cash and jt picked on ben i do think that gwen and kevins relationship was rushed though

@JrPhilgene The second clip that you posted is from the episode, Forgeti, which premiered at some special event in I think Texas to promote the US premiere of the Ben 10 reboot. I think it was something like SXSW 2017 or something of the likes. It's about Gwen finding this yeti in a forest while her and Ben are trying to rescue Max from Dr. Animo. I saw the episode a while ago on a YouTube channel, SPIDEREYE 10, but the channel's been terminated due to copyright claims. It's really just more of the same as every other episode.

@Omni-Triforcer I believe someone linked it on here a while back.
Edit: Yeah, if you search "forgeti" in the search bar on this website, you'll find the links to the episode. Again, the channel that those links take you to has been terminated so the links don't work anymore.

So Collider had an interview with Man of Action about the Ben 10 reboot. There's a lot of what Man of Action says here that really sets off my bullshit meter though. A lot of false things that they make mentions of. The rest is in regards to them providing more info about the future of the Ben 10 reboot. Apparently, Yuri Lowenthal might voice a character in the show according to Man of Action.

They also confirmed new aliens in Season 2, which further confirms a new season.
-
Yay, new aliens!
-
New aliens! That's great news!
So, Man of Action subtle confirmed my headcanon that each new series was in fact a reboot set in another timeline, and not a sequel (The show has always rebooted. (...) it’s rebooted almost every two or three years for its entire life (...) there have been other Ben 10 reboots). I think we can officialy say that "Goodbye and Good Riddance" is the true ending of OS, and AF/UA happened in other universe, and OV happened in a third universe.
