So far, Veidt's story has stayed completely separated from the events happening in Tulsa, OK. Yet, he's a major character in the graphic novel and the reason the world is the way it is. Introducing such a big player and not having him do anything during the last act seems unlikely. But he's years away from Earth and currently in prison. Will he come back in time to save Dr. Manhattan? Or is he ahead of everyone just as he was in the graphic novel?
