Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Summary
When Marvel Studios started to develop its own MCU - set TV shows for Disney+ , beginning with 2021’sWandaVision , the canon position of previous Marvel Television show was throw into dubiousness . This includes , among others , Agents of SHIELD , Agent Carter , Runaways , Cloak and DaggerandMarvel Television’sDefenders Saga , which comprises six serial publication ' released on Netflix between 2015 and 2019.Marvel Television ’s show cite the MCU , but the inverse was n’t the cause , so many considered these series to be position in substitute universes . However , this may now be commute , as Marvel Studios has recently made huge change to theMCU ’s official timeline .
Marvel Television ’s Agents of SHIELD bleed for seven seasons between 2013 and 2020 , but look back , the series had many unfortunate problems .
The Defenders Saga Is MCU Canon, So Other Marvel TV Shows Might Be Too
Alongside the January 2024 sack ofEcho , Marvel Studios integrated theDefenders Sagainto the MCU ’s official timelineon Disney+ , placing the show in the main in stage 2 and 3 of the MCU , prior toAvengers : Infinity War . This teased theDefenders Sagaseries , includingDaredevil , Jessica Jones , Luke Cage , Iron Fist , The DefendersandThe Punisher , becoming canyon to the MCU , but this did n’t get any official confirmation from Marvel Studios . However , speaking toThe Hollywood Reporterin March 2024,Marvel Studios ' Head of Television , Animation and Streaming , Brad Winderbaum , confirmed theDefenders Sagais indeed canon to the MCU .
We finally said it out aloud . When the Netflix shows were amount out and being made , we were building towardsInfinityWarandEndgame . We were essay to balance all of these film franchise and get them to culminate onscreen in these two epical motion-picture show . To say it was a challenge is not even correct . It was one of the most challenging originative effort the studio apartment ever tackle . I ’m not sure there will ever be anything like it again in cinema . It took so much to get all that hooey to startle in that one place and in that one time so that people could have that experience in the picture show theater .
So , at the time , to say , “ Alright , we ’re also going to take this television show and wrap our head around that , ” it would ’ve been too much , even though we were communicating back and off . Everyone on the television side and the picture show side knew what each other was doing , and you may see that there ’s a continuity there . The references do draw up , but it was just too much for us to wrap our minds around at the time .
Flash forward now to Disney+ , where we are actually lay out the timeline with roofing tile on a screen , all of a sudden we ’re like , “ We should just do it . Let ’s do it . ” It was also spurred by the redevelopment ofDaredevil : acquit Again , once we begin to really lean into some of the mythology and backstory that was established in those Netflix shows . I was inquire about this during the press forEcho , and I realized , “ Oh , it ’s not just assume . People have an active interest and they want check . ” So we were able to do it fair promptly , and it ’s interesting that the service of Disney+ actually became the command just by rearranging those tile . That ’s our mass medium to specify the canon now , which is wild to think about .
Interestingly , Brad Winderbaum suggest that the canyon status of Marvel Television’sDefenders Sagacould have simply been"assumed,“which perhaps suggest at other Marvel Television shows also being able-bodied to be"assumed"to be canon to the MCU.Recent speculation points toAgent Carterbeing next to be fold up into the MCU ’s prescribed timeline , andAgents of SHIELDcould soon follow , eventually put the decade - tenacious public debate to rest . As the MCU continues to grow , it ’s more important than ever for these questions to be answered , as characters from these Marvel Television shows could soon be brought fully into the MCU .
Avengers 5 & 6 Make Agents Of SHIELD’s Canon Question More Relevant Than Ever
phase angle 6’sAvengers 5andAvengers : Secret Warsare look to have past and present MCU characters , and characters from other non - MCU Marvel enfranchisement . distrust to be even larger in volume than 2018’sInfinity Warand 2019’sEndgame , it ’s very possibleAvengers 5andSecret Warswill let in a number of character from Marvel Television ’s previous show , which mean thatanswering these questions regarding their canyon status to the MCU should be of grandness to Marvel Studios . This will let audiences know what should or should n’t be watched before Phase 6 , allowing for full delectation in 2026 and 2027 , respectively .

There Are Problems With Agents Of SHIELD Being Made MCU Canon
While there are many marvellous benefits to bringingAgents of SHIELD , specifically , into the MCU ’s official timeline , such as the integration of character like Daisy Johnson , Melinda May and Alphonso " Mack " Mackenzie into the MCU , and the re - institution of SHIELD as a bona fide organization , there are also pitfalls . WhileAgents of SHIELD’sfirst seasonstuck passably close to the MCU ’s ever - growing continuity , time of year 2 onward veered drastically from the stories that Marvel Studios was telling on the big screen . Most notably , this included introducing Inhumans inAgents of SHIELD , while the prescribed MCU has all ignored this humankind - change plot line .
wonder Studios first mentionedInhumans in the MCUduring 2022’sDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness , and this was only via the visual aspect of a Black Bolt variant on Earth-838.The MCU ’s principal continuity has n’t include Inhumans , but the species was a major part ofAgents of SHIELD , and the world of Inhumans became common knowledge . Other issues of bringingAgents of SHIELDinto the MCU ’s timeline include different time travel principle , SHIELD and HYDRA ’s history , and , of class , the resurrection of Clark Gregg ’s Phil Coulson , so there ’s a deal to conceive before integrate the series into the MCU .
