No studio has ever really cared about tie-in video games, or any tie-in material, when it comes to the next movie. Consider the following:
 * Vulture and Black Cat were set to feature in Raimi’s unproduced Spider-Man 4, despite having previously appeared in the tie-ins for the first and second films respectively
 * Juggernaut was a boss in X2: Wolverine’s Revenge, yet appeared in X-Men: The Last Stand
 * Silver Samurai was in X-Men: The Official Game, yet is set to appear as the main villain in The Wolverine
 * AIM appeared in the tie-ins for both Iron Man films, yet is set to feature in Iron Man 3.
 * Whiplash (Marc Scarlotti) was also featured in the tie-in for Iron Man, but his character was adapted as Ivan Vanko in Iron Man 2
 * Firepower (Jack Taggert) was featured in the tie-in for Iron Man 2, yet is set to appear in Iron Man 3 (played by Ashley Hamilton)
 * Madame Hydra was featured in Captain America: Super Soldier, yet is set to appear in The Wolverine, albeit as Viper.
 * Blackout was in the tie-in for Ghost Rider, but was featured in Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance.

They’re cheaply-made tie-in games. They get some really bad reviews and are forgotten within months.
