Surprisingly, no.
I think the reason for this, as it's heavily implied in the appendices, is that they really didn't have a 2nd film at all. When they did the 10 weeks of pick up shooting, it was mainly to make THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG. It's the reason the Smaug climax is what it is. It wasn't present on the initial shooting of the HOBBIT films. I think she got fleshed out during those pick up shootings so I think that's why she didn't get extended in SMAUG.
It may happen in BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES.
