But yeah as you say simply deleting her would cause a lot of columnists, talking heads and politicians previously largely uninterested in superhero movies to make a lot of um, how to put this, "emotive statements". So I expect they're carefully reducing the role.And I doubt that's all they're doing - a synopsis of Cap 4 came out a while back from a plausible source (who has provided accurate synopses previously) and it did not sound like a very coherent or compelling movie, but rather a bit of a mess. Given the lead writer is the same as Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and he got forced to change the plot of that and do a bazillion reshoots and it was a total mess that would be sadly unsurprising (don't hire Spellman if you're not up for what he's doing, Marvel!).</blockquote>
