The Marvel Cinematic Universe recently acknowledged some of the TV shows that were spun-off from the films across various networks and loosely connected to the main canon: Daredevil's Matt Murdock and Inhumans' Black Bolt popped up in the latest Spider-Man and Doctor Strange movies, respectfully.
With that renewed focus on the MCU-adjacent shows, people are wondering if the longest running show, Marvel's Agents of SHIELD, could be folded into the main movies.
Agent Fitz actor Iain De Caestecker isn't sure whether that would actually happen, but even if it did, he's not keen on a return.

Speaking exclusively to Digital Spy about his new project The Control Room, the actor said: "I think I would say probably no. And not that I didn't have a fantastic time doing it.
"I think, after everything that happened to those two characters [Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons], they really gave them a happy ending. And I think it would be so sad to mess with that again. It's not fair.

"I'm not sure they would survive it this time. So I like the idea that they're living a life of normality outside of the SHIELD."

When asked if he thought Agents of SHIELD was considered canon or not nowadays, the star admitted that he didn't actually know what canon was, but once we explained it to him, he stated that: "I would say you might have to, because I think the original conception of the show was the fact that Coulson had come from the Avengers, isn't it? I think you would kind of have to say it is canon."
The Control Room begins on BBC One tonight (July 17). Agents of SHIELD is available to stream via Disney+.
