Outside universe? Not much chance. GW much prefer the "unexplored mystery" trope, and so do the rest of us. As soon as a mystery is solved it's boring.

In-universe? Having primarchs come back sounds great, but in typical 40k grimdark it might actually be horrible. Being that he's a Perpetual, Vulkan will have to come back sometime, unless he was really permakilled - but he may be stark raving mad.

I don't think the Lion is all that loyal, either, given all the Watchers in the Dark stuff and Cypher-like shenanigans. With an Astartes legion-in-all-but-name at his command, he could do horrible damage to the Imperium, especially since the Angels don't seem very loyal to it. Guilliman is dead as soon as his statis field is switched off. Either Russ, Corax or Jaghatai are tucked neatly under Sebastian Thor's head in Trazyn's trophy cabinet. Russ might come back corrupted by Chaos, given how long he's been in the Eye of Terror.

As the old saying goes, be careful what you wish for...
