Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. may have introduced the Inhumans to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but Clark Gregg isn’t expecting any big crossover with the 2019 release, telling Digital Spy that he thinks it will be entirely independent from the ABC series.
“The Inhumans movie I suspect will be its own cinematic version,” states Gregg. “That writer and director will have free reign to do what they want to do with the Inhumans. But hopefully there’ll be some way that our Inhumans connect to that. It’d be too bad if that was wasted. [But] what’s kind of necessary for the show to work is that it is its own thing and it’s not dependant upon those crossovers. They’re just fun stuff that happens once in a while. They destroy the organisation our show is named after and we have to deal with that! I’ll be interested to see how it evolves, that crossover stuff.”

At this point, it seems pretty obvious that the big screen side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe doesn’t pay too much attention to its small screen counterparts, but would you be disappointed if the Inhumans movie doesn’t fit with what’s already been established on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.? Or is it the right way for Marvel to go? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below…

Kevin Feige did say that the movie will acknowledge the TV material “sooner or later”, and everybody assumed that he referred to the Inhumans, but maybe he was talking about the Defenders? We’ll see in three or four years, I guess..

My money would be on The Defenders, I could be wrong, but I can’t see the movies making any reference to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. – as far as the Cinematic Universe goes, I think Coulson is still dead to them.
Timo Qvintus says
Whedon was in “creative control” of Phase 2, and he always felt that Coulson should remain dead; but now that he’s gone there is no reason for them not to acknowledge his resurrection. Remember, Lady Sif has seen Coulson alive twice, and Nick Fury and Maria Hill also know that Coulson lives. Besides, thematically SHIELD is much closer to MCU than what we’ve seen of Defenders so far. Enough time has passed that revealing his resurrection would not undo his death’s consequence, namely forming the Avengers. So in my opinion it’s either that, or Dr.Strange will form the Defenders team like he’s supposed to.
