I do keep thinking maybe we'll get Maria in the next movie, along with Fury? Maybe?
I'm highly cynical about this. Unless all the people who were smoked have been sent to a kind of parallel reality and are working together to get out of there (which, I admit would be a very cool), then the chances of her being anything more than one or two lines in the movie are miniscule.
There's too many other emotional arcs that they'd follow up first: all the "beloved dead" reunions - from Steve/Bucky to Rocket/Groot, Peter/Tony, and so on - to go through before they ever got to anything more than Maria delivering a line or two.
(And honestly, I'm tired of Maria delivering a line or two. If I had five dollars every time someone said "well, she appears in my fic" then I'd have close to a thousand dollars by now. Because that's the only thing she ever does in 99% of stories - appear! They give her one line and she walks off. There's no friendship, no emotional significance to her - and, really, as a fan, why would I want to read fic about that? Do they really think I'm that stupid that I can't see they're throwing me a bone while feasting on roast pork?)
