Despite the fact that Marvel’s recent restructure saw the feature film and television sides of the Marvel Cinematic Universe falling under different areas of control, Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige has confirmed to IGN that it’s inevitable that the big screen side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will make reference to the various TV shows.
“I think that’s inevitable at some point as we’re plotting the movies going forward and they’re doing the shows. It’s easier for [the TV side],” states Feige. “They’re more nimble and faster and produce things quicker than we do, which is one of the main reasons you see the repercussions of Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Avengers: Age of Ultron in [Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
“Going forward and certainly as they begin to do more shows and cast them with such great actors as they have — particularly Daredevil — that that may occur,” he continues. “A lot of it is by the time we start doing a movie, they’d be midway through a season; by the time it comes out they’d be done with the second, starting the third season. Finding timing on that is not always easy.”
So, perhaps we’ll see Daredevil and company in Avengers: Infinity War after all…
