It won't matter as they didn't bother to build the character up so
that the viewers would care about this person. Sure, they had her in a
previous movie but 1) it has been years since they showed the
character and 2) nothing has been done to build on that appearance.
So unless the writers and actress did an amazing job (similar to what
happened with Robert Downey Jr and the original IRON MAN movie) I
don't see this show doing well at all.
