The return of Sharon Carter

Marvel executives had been wanting to bring Emily VanCamp’s Sharon Carter back to the MCU for a while. They explored ways to fit her into Infinity War and Endgame but ultimately, it was just too much. They felt it worked out for the best because without the weight of her being Steve Rogers’ love interest, they were able to explore what the events of Civil War did to her. And, we now know, it set her up for much bigger, more villainous things to come.
