She will, however, "accompany them when they travel to another universe" in the comic book flick, according to the scooper.
The report adds: "It is interesting that Yelena is the one to join Wilson's faction of Earth's Mightiest Heroes for their alternate reality mission.
"We have heard that Pugh and Anthony Mackie were originally going to feature in more scenes together, but plans involving their characters ended up being changed fairly late in the game.
