It’s no secret that, despite the ‘It’s all connected’ tagline, the MCU TV Shows and movies are very separate things.
Marvel Studios Head, Kevin Feige, has made no secret of this, saying the two will never really crossover. Now, we know there’s been some crossover – for example Nick Fury and Lady Sif appearing in Agents of SHIELD, along with Avengers Tower in Daredevil and numerous references spoken in various series, but we reckon what Fiege is talking about is major events – for example, it makes sense to us that The Defenders would help fight Thanos in Infinity War, even though we’ve been told it’ll not happen.
Now, however, with Marvel creating many nexw shows – Cloak & Dagger, New Warriors, Runaways and The Inhumans – it seems that Feige has softened a little to the idea of crossover.
“The future’s a long time,” he says of the MCU’s many arms, “So, the truth is, I don’t really know, but there are a lot of TV shows being made, and hopefully we’ll continue to make a lot of movies. At some point, there’s going to be a crossover. Crossover, repetition, or something.”
Now, we don’t know what this means exactly – it certainly seems it’s not part of the plan yet, but we know that, from a story point of view, with spider-man and The Defenders out there every night, sooner or later they SHOULD cross paths. Same as she Thanos attacks, The Defenders SHOULD get in on the action.
So we reckon at some point in the future we’ll see crossover… after all, no other studio plans longterm like Marvel and Disney are doing right now, os it only makes sense.
Sooner than later, we say…
