It's a safe bet if you change the script it becomes a different movie. The real question remains however: do you need Monica in Captain Marvel at all for it to be a good movie? Obviously, we won't know whether it's a good story or not until March 8th. But I'd like to think that they could have come up with a solid script even without introducing Monica. They likely would have been better off having Black Widow in the movie, if it has to be a dated period piece.
Now if you're asking me what a Spectrum movie would look like, who would write, direct, produce and star in it, etc., well, that's a different discussion. But I have the utmost confidence the movie would be a hit. There are plenty of phenomenal talents out there now, both in front of and behind the camera. Monica might still need to receive the baton so to speak from an established franchise, like Wonder Woman took the baton by virtue of Superman vs. Batman, but I don't think anyone will knock her for that. Cold launches are incredibly hard to push in Hollywood, even for a Marvel/Disney movie.

With Carol's movie coming out this week and the world being introduced to Monica for the very first time, I figured this would be a good spot for a playful homage faux cover.
She's only "getting in the way" of Carol if she's called Captain Marvel, which is really unlikely. Marvel has not actively marketed Monica in any medium as Captain Marvel in quite some time, except for the recent trade paperback collection (which I'm guessing was to cash in on the movie). If they use Monica as a hero in the present, they'll almost certainly just call her one of the myriad of other names she's used over the years, like Spectrum or Photon.
In fact, as many people noticed in the early promo pictures, "Photon" appears to be her mother's military callsign.
