I have to disagree. CE is not as much about the setting as it is about the characters. It's the characters that appealed and made it popular (that's why Destiny was never able to just discard the old cast for a new one like UC can), and making popular characters that last for a decade on Newtype polls just isn't easy, as Mizushima/Kuroda found out.

And because of that, they really can't just discard Morosawa. She knows her characters best after all.

So if Fukuda & Morosawa are both healthy and haven't frustrated Bandai enough due to wasted time yet, I don't see why they wouldn't finish the movie.
