When It Mattered

As recently as Ant-Man, there was evidence that the terrorist group The Ten Ring was still operating, presumably under the real Mandarin figure who revealed himself in the one shot All Hail The King.

This was important not least to Ant-Man and Hank Pym but also to Tony Stark, who had basically vowed to crush them for their atrocities (even when part of it could be pinned on Obadiah Stane).

But Now...

That loose end is an inconvenience to Marvel, because they really need to kill Tony Stark off (probably in Avengers 4), to herald that "fresh start" they're looking for with Phase 4. And if he's killed (and Ant-Man is focused on the multiverse), won't The Ten Rings just be left to be evil in far more real terms than what's left of HYDRA?
