No, Ganju and Ikkaku can be portrayed already near the middle of the film. Honestly I do not think Ikkaku would be a character that would deserve A LOT of screen time, at most he would have a quick fight with the protagonists and used to introduce Captain Zaraki to the public. And Ganju will obviously accompany the protagonists and will be a kind of comic relief.

Like I said before ... some captains are going to have more prominence than others. Kenpachi, Aizen and a few others like Gin Ichimaru and Byakuya Kuchiki would have more screen time in the film than other captains.

Earlier I just said what the beginning of the movie would be like until about half the story.

It would be a rescue movie, the main focus of the movie would be Ichigo doing everything to save Rukia, being that in this film that I imagined (and in the original saga) she practically becomes a damsel in distress. After the protagonists enter the Sereitei the place will became chaotic with the shinigami hunting the protagonists while Aizen puts his plan into action.

But of course it all depends on how long time (minutes) the studio will give the director to make the movie. I'm just a Bleach fan, I'm not a movie director. Some fans should have ideas better than mine (especially those who studied cinematographic arts)

EDIT: I ended up confusing Ikkaku with another character ... but I fixed it.
