If the A380 is on time, a big if, then I would normally expect boarding to start about then. It remains T-20 as the external deadline, though it would a rare day when the last passenger on an A380 would have boarded by then. Flights are not supposed to leave more than 10 minutes early, and again that's somewhat academic for A380s.
