Marvel’s Small-Screen Legacy: ABC Shows and MCU Canon<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before Disney+ launched in November 2019, Marvel fans had two small-screen destinations: Netflix, home to popular shows like Daredevil<\/em>, Luke Cage<\/em>, Jessica Jones<\/em>, Iron Fist<\/em>, The Punisher<\/em>, and crossover The Defenders<\/em>; and ABC, which aired Agents of SHIELD<\/em><\/a> (a seven-season juggernaut), Agent Carter<\/em><\/a>, and Inhumans<\/em>. These shows ran concurrently with Marvel\u2019s Phase 2 and Phase 3 films, but there wasn\u2019t much overlap between the big and small-screen projects aside from a few key characters\u2014including SHIELD<\/em>\u2018s Agent Coulson and Agent Carter<\/em>\u2018s Peggy Carter.<\/p>\n

The Question of Canon<\/strong><\/p>\n

As time has passed, fans have often wondered: is the stuff that happened on those ABC shows part of MCU canon, or not? With Disney+\u2019s Daredevil: Born Again<\/em><\/a> bringing back Charlie Cox and his Netflix co-stars for a new series\u2014following Cox\u2019s Matt Murdock reprise on She-Hulk: Attorney at Law<\/em>\u2014the question\u2019s come back around again. In an interview with ScreenRant<\/a>, Marvel Television\u2019s Brad Winderbaum was asked about the canon status of two of the ABC series: SHIELD<\/em> and Agent Carter<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Marvel’s Approach to Canon<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s exciting for me to think about how to square those ABC shows with the canon,\u201d he said. \u201cThat, to me, if you know me and the way my brain works, that is fun territory to imagine.\u201d The MCU canon is, admittedly, a sprawling collection of superheroes, supervillains, spin-offs, and sequels; it already has 30 movies and a dozen TV series, plus specials, and many more are on the way. With that in mind, would it really be too much effort to add in the events that transpired on a couple more TV shows, especially such fan-beloved ones? Or is it better to just compartmentalize the adventures of Coulson and Carter, enjoy them for what they were, and not try to tie them into the ever-growing bigger picture?<\/p>\n

Marvel’s Decision<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whatever may end up happening, at least Marvel is holding onto its history in an easily accessible way: all of the Netflix and ABC shows (yes, even Inhumans<\/em>) are streaming on Disney+.<\/p>\n\n
