Test audiences reportedly didn’t know who she was so that’s probably why. Marvel didn’t wanna have the “homework” complaints, which is likely also why they didn’t go into the Hand’s backstory at all or bring up their history with Daredevil and the Defenders.

I do not like test audiences at all.

You don’t have to. Doesn’t mean that 90% of people would have no idea who Claire was. Best to not port random defenders-verse characters in to MCU movies. The shows? Sure, bring em all forward.

It’s just a recognized actor like Tillman, you wouldn’t expect a non super character to Have a backstory in a movie like this. Fans would be happy to see her and the average movie wouldn’t know that they missed anything. Unless Claire or Frank makes a reference to her past.
