One of the biggest Marvel Cinematic Universe mysteries has officially been solved as the canon status for
Agents of SHIELD gets addressed. Despite having been initially created as being part of the main MCU timeline, Agents of SHIELD never got to engage with the Marvel Studios movies, even though the ABC TV show had a direct impact in films like Avengers: Age of Ultron. Because of that notion, it has been questioned for years whether or not Agents of SHIELD is actually canon to the MCU.
In the new book, Marvel Studios The Marvel Cinematic Universe An Official Timeline, the Agents of SHIELD situation is addressed as the entirety of the MCU Phase 1 through 4 are covered in immense detail. The Death Of Phil Coulson discusses Coulson's heroic sacrifice and death in The Avengers, but nothing of his resurrection or his team in Agents of SHIELD is mentioned or even hinted at. However, there's hope for the team in the future, as Kevin Feige gives the following quote in the book's forward:
On the Multiverse note, we recognize that there are stories - movies and series - that are canonical to Marvel but were created by different storytellers during different periods of Marvel's history. The timeline presented in this book is specific to the MCU's Sacred Timeline through Phase 4. But, as we move forward and dive deeper into the Multiverse Saga, you never know when timelines may just crash or converge (hint, hint/ spoiler alert).
