Marvel Movies Will Reference Marvel’s TV Shows Eventually
Part of the fun of having a singular universe in regards to TV shows and movies is that they can reference each other and prove that they are all connected. The Marvel movies do it all the time, and now the Marvel TV shows (which are growing in numbers) are doing it to. But, the movies have never referenced the TV shows…yet.
Promoting the release of Age of Ultron, Marvel’s Kevin Fiege states that will change soon, but there was a good reason it didn’t happen earlier.
“I think that’s inevitable at some point as we’re plotting the movies going forward and they’re doing the shows,” he explained during the Age of Ultron event at the Hero Complex Gallery in Los Angeles on September 29th.
The issue thus far, he said, is that the schedules for the TV shows and movies “do not always quite match up to make that possible.”
He continued on:
“It’s easier for them. 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 Winter Soldier and Age of Ultron in the show,” Feige said. “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. 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.”
