Jed Whedon has been chatting about the “thematic ties” between Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 5 and the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies.
But on the other hand, MCU overlord Kevin Feige has hinted that the film and TV worlds will collide “at some point.”
But as the series has progressed, it has moved away from overt crossovers with the films.
However, although it is fun to see Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. spreading its wings, developing its own stories and connecting to the wider MCU on a purely thematic level, there are still members of the fanbase that yearn for crossovers.
