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.
