I hate to agree, but I'm sure that's what's gonna happen.
In the end, Scott won't even be involved in fighting Stevil, the guy who put him where he was. No writer would dream of doing that to pretty much any other character in the Marvel stable. If some baddie took out Iron Man, or Thor, or Black Widow, or Storm, or Spidey, or Wolverine, or even Hawkeye, I'm 99% sure they would be part of the final confrontation. Scott has been deemed unworthy of such considerations by editorial it seems.
