The article reports that actress Carrie Coon, who provided the voice and motion capture for the villain Proxima Midnight in Avengers: Infinity War, did not return for the character's appearance in Avengers: Endgame.
The reason, according to a referenced Hollywood Reporter profile on Coon, is that Marvel Studios allegedly refused to offer her a pay increase for the second film. Consequently, Coon declined to reprise the role.
Instead, Proxima Midnight was played in Endgame by stunt performer Monique Ganderton, who had already served as Coon's stunt double in Infinity War.
The Nerdist piece suggests that Coon, being an established and busy actress with significant roles outside the MCU, likely chose not to return for what was a relatively small part when the offered compensation didn't meet her expectations or value.
