I think Bagan would have been perfect in the late Heisei era, maybe as the villain in a film betweenSpaceGodzilla and Destoroyah. Nearly every Heisei kaiju was tied to Godzilla in some way: Biollante (genetically), Ghidorah (intended to erase Godzilla from history), Mechagodzilla (duh), Baby G (duh), SpaceGodzilla (...), and Destoroyah (created by the weapon that killed the first Godzilla). If his origin had been left alone, Bagan probably would have broken that chain. Of course, he'd also be another largely immobile enemy of the Big G. That said, I think his time has come and gone. I can't really see him working in any non-Heisei Godzilla story. If he should make it to the screen, I imagine he'd have changed too much from the Kazuki Omori version of the character, which IMO would defeat the purpose.
