I just want someone from Agents of Shield that isn't Coulson to appear in a movie after the show is over. That's not hard at all
You'd be lucky to even get Coulson. Someone else brought it up in one of these threads, but considering his death was the catalyst for the group's coming together ultimately, reintroducing the character might not actually
fit in those movies anymore.
You could watch every Marvel movie after Avengers and if you never watched the show you'd never know he was brought back to life at all. I bet they never bring him back into the movie fold, either.
So far as the movies are concerned - it really does seem that Coulson is effectively
still dead.
And I think the important thing to take from Mackie's quote is context he's speaking publicly at a fan convention. I don't know if he's really looking to provide the most insightful of peeks behind the scenes (and above his paygrade) but the key stuff in his statement is the fact it's a different studio, and the guy running his side of things isn't at all concerned with what's going on over on the TV side.
So not only is the will not there (and it isn't) but I can't imagine the scheduling is even a thing they want to try complicating any more than it's already complicated. Plus does anyone know where in the timeline any of these Marvel shows are occurring? Are they all happening at the same time? This shit isn't even crystal clear in the individual films sometimes.
So not only do you then have to incorporate these shows (and where they are in their timeline) but you've got to build in the time for their appearance in whatever movie you're trying to sneak 'em into?
The shit was always sorta untenable, logistically.
I mean, sure, it
could happen. But the question is, would the extra work needed to be undertaken to facilitate those appearances be
worth it in the long run?
Even continuity addiction has its limits, I bet.
