"So that was the device. Now that we've gotten into that world, we don't need him. He just didn't fit into the story. We worked on getting him in there. But it would have been the case where he was the young naive guy, can we come back to that guy five years later where he's turned into a bit more of a street-wise agent? For whatever reason, it didn't quite fit. And we did want to bring in other characters from the comic. You can only deal with so many other characters."
