Despite the fact that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is now in its third season, so far there’s been no indication that Phil Coulson is alive and well as far as the big screen side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is concerned, with Avengers director Joss Whedon even stating last year that “in the films, he’s dead.”
However, Clark Gregg hasn’t given up hope that Coulson may one day share the screen with Earth’s Mightiest Heroes again, with the actor telling Digital Spy that he hopes some of The Avengers could guest star in the ABC series:
“Literally all of [the Avengers actors], at different times in different interviews – have been really generous about wanting to be part of it. I hope that seems like the right thing to do at some point. So far I’ve liked the way that people like Lady Sif (Jaimie Alexander) got to be let out to play a little more than they’d get to normally – and whether it’s at the cinema or on the television, I hope at some point Phil Coulson gets to explain what he’s been doing.”

If anyone, it will have to be Hawkeye or Black Widow. No CGI budget, not Iron Man prominent, and they already work at SHIELD, so a meeting would make sense.

They’ve left SHIELD in the movies though as it no longer exists. I can’t see it happening personally. I don’t think the movie side of Marvel pays any attention to this show.

The movies pay no attention to the show, but the show tries to crossover with the movies. We’ve had Lady Sif on Agents of SHIELD twice, so they could have a character like Hawkeye appear. I agree though that it probably won’t happen, but it could.
