“There’s only one place for connective tissue within the Marvel Universe and within this new MCU, Marvel Cinematic Universe.”
Ever since the success of The Avengers, Marvel Studios has expanded to a vast slate of television series.
Marvel Television was founded in 2010, with the studio partnering with ABC to create television series sharing continuity with the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Until Marvel Television, Marvel Studios has never made a direct connection between the television productions set in the MCU and the forefront slate of movies.
