It’s probably the biggest question in the MCU right now: just how connected are the big screen outings to the TV side of things? And more importantly, will we see Daredevil, The Punisher and Jessica Jones (and Agents of SHIELD, I guess) make the jump to the movies anytime soon?
With the Russos sailing the Marvel ship though a double whammy of hits right now – after all, who didn’t love Captain America: Winter Soldier, with Civil War being just as awesome – and with their return to the MCU with the two parts of Avengers: Infinity War just around the corner, it will surely mark the biggest, boldest way we can bring an end of Phase Three.
When talking to BadTaste.it the directing duo made it clear that they’re answering this question a LOT right now, but where do they stand on appearances from characters from outside cinema screens?
“The Marvel Universe is sprawling,” said Joe, “Just think of all the characters that haven’t been introduced yet that are going to be introduced by the time that we’re working on Infinity War.”
We’re still dead excited for new Guardians members, Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel and so much more…
But he continues, “We have a tough task just telling the stories of the characters who exist [on the big screen] in the MCU, let alone adding the entire Marvel Television universe.”
That… seems like a shock to the system. Could it mean that they aren’t considering an introduction to these characters?
“Anything is possible in the Marvel Universe. It’s certainly something we’re considering,” he hints at before signing off, “But our focus is on telling the stories of the characters that currently exist on the movie side.”
What could be next? We can only hope it’s very big plans indeed.

Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
