If it's a big enough role I think it's possible. I don't think lego goes out of their way, but I'd be a bit surprised if they managed to leave out the iron man/nick fury/doctor strange of the next spider-man in Punisher. Whatever else is going on in the MCU, they know spidey brings in money, and I'm sure it'll get multiple sets.

They skipped High Evolutionary and Gamora in the GotG 3 wave. In the one Aquaman movie set, they skipped Ocean Master. There was no Doomsday in the BvS wave. Lego has zero problems skipping characters, even when there’s no apparent reason why they would.

In some of these particular cases, arguments can be made as to why they were omitted  

• Doomsday was likely meant to be a surprise initially (since having him in the story pretty much gave away that Soup croaks), which then got spoiled by the marketing. Since there were no further spoilery sets beyond an accessory pack, he didn’t get made.
• Ocean Master was likely omitted because the set already featured Black Manta as the villain.
• The High Evolutionary is a bit of a strange case. You could argue he was too vile of a character, torturing and mutilating animals, but other characters that have done equally heinous things did get minifigs  
• Gamora being omitted made little sense, agreed. They easily could have featured her in the Bowie. Maybe there was no budget left for the prints she required

If Doomsday will be a big enough hit, they could milk it for years afterwards, like they’re still doing with Endgame. Even 6 years later, we’re still getting new variants like the upcoming War Machine / Iron Patriot 2.0 (while admittedly still missing other characters and variants, looking at you, Kraglin and Ronin)

Where can I read the designer talking about that? I remember the AMA but don't recall anything about maturity rating affecting the minifigure selection

It's in the Mark Stafford AMA. When asked about including Punisher, he had this to say. "There are always challenges including more adult characters. We work closely with Marvel to stay appropriate to both our brands."

He also mentioned that Blade, in contrast to Daredevil and Punisher, was not a character they had discussions about fighting to include. That his movies came out so long ago that he's not grouped as one of the "mature, rated-R" characters like the other two are. Which I guess means Blade is the most likely to pop up in another set, if there are no restrictions on him.

And since he always seems to enter into these discussion, I wouldn’t be surprised if Lego had a giant no-Deadpool poster hanging in their office, because he’s not showing up again anytime soon given his reputation.

For X-Men '97, apparently Marvel had a strict rule that Deadpool could not appear. I have no idea if that's because they didn't want his mature brand to taint a family friendly show, or if there were other reasons to keep him out, but that's a possibility. It's also why I said it was ludicrous that some people were expecting Deadpool to be included in the X-Mansion set when Marvel won't even let him appear or be mentioned in the show the set is based on.

I'm very curious if this means Lego would exclude him when they make sets for Doomsday or Secret Wars or whatever movie Deadpool's set to appear in next.
