It seems that they were going to include her in a earlier script but seems that she was written out as the studio felt that having two well rounded female characters would, "Alienate their target audience".

Honestly I'm not surprised given that this is a video game movie and 9 times out of 10, they usually suck as they change and remove key elements and characters in order to make them "more accessible to a movie audience". This usually results in the film not resembling the game in question and what's worse is that they make the plot needlessly complicated so it can be "just like the game" which goes to show that the film makers haven't actually played the game and have only read the cliff notes.

At least Sam is freed of Himiko in the comics and was the one who beat her through shear force of will, (God she's awesome! :D)
