I don't think he has ever outright said the OS Ben 10,000 is what Ben Tennyson (Prime) is going to be other than he will become the Ben 10,000 depicted in Ben Again (who wears attire similar to OS Ben 10,000).

So Ben mutilating Vilgax happens at age 20 instead of 15 is an obvious sign that OS Ben 10K and OV Ben 10K are slightly different. It can be considered that OV Ben 10K Timeline is nearly identical to OS Ben 10,000 with some subtle changes. ie. Kevin is good, Vilgax being mutilated later on, Ben 10K uses Biomnitrix instead of Omnitrix, Ben 10K (OV) is less of a strongheaded jerk than Ben 10,000 (OS) as shown in Let's do the Time War Again, etc. Derrick has directly confirmed that the orginal future is the canon one. And he never said Ben killed vilgax when he was 20. He said thats when he lost his joy of being a hero. Those 2 events where never stated to be conncected. We actually saw Ben kill vilgax at the age of 16 in Malgax Attacks. And I don't know why people take the whole "Ben losing his joy at 15" thing to heart. That was only ever confirmed through the pop ups, which are subject to change.
