I don't think Aizen will play a role in the arc aside from the flashbacks we've seen or are still to see. I think when Kubo stated that Aizen would be back in his interview before launching the arc he just meant we'd see him...meaning in the flashbacks. I could be wrong, but it seems that people are assuming that he will play a role in the present battle because Kubo stated Aizen would be back. He's been back...in flashback panels. I think it would be kind of week if he played any role in this arc.
