The intro takes place in 1980, and then it says "34 years later", which is 2014, the same year as Guardians of the Galaxy 1, and the year before Age of Ultron. (Strucker's page says he died in 2015)

Well, that would explain why they killed Ego, then. It may be Phase 3, but it was from the same time period as Phase 2, and every main villain of a Phase 2 movie gets killed. Further supporting the idea that Kaecilius might have survived his fate, coz Doctor Strange is set in 2017, and Zemo and Vulture definitely survived. Hela and Killmonger probably will too, and as for Thanos...
