Ghost is removed from the Thunderbolts?

Coming from a lot of reliable sources, it is rumoured that Ghost, will not be attending the Thunderbolts. I think this really sucks, if anybody were to leave it would have been Red Guardian or Taskmaster, Ghost is the only one with a unique power compared to all the other super-soldiers.

I hope this rumour is not true, and if it is, here are some replacements that I think could work.

Red Hulk, Scar and Man Thing all have existing origins/teases, and if Harrison Ford is really playing Thunderbolt Ross, this could work. If they were to introduce new characters, I think Songbird, Speedball, and Juggernaught could work for this space in the team.
