Marvel's various TV shows have spent several seasons dealing with the aftermath of the events of Marvel's movies, and the films will begin returning the favor. During a Q&A promoting the home video release of Avengers: Age of Ultron , Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige called the situation "inevitable."

"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.""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."Two years after the series premiere of Marvel's first TV show, Agents of SHIELD, the studio has currently released three canon series (SHIELD, Agent Carter and Daredevil), with five more in various stages of production ( Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, The Defenders and Mockingbird ).The shows have done everything from cope with the aftermath of the attack on New York in Hell's Kitchen to introduce the Inhumans. While there have been several characters who have traveled from the movies to the TV shows and back (Nick Fury, Lady Sif and Agent Jasper Sitwell, to name a few), there have not been any significant nods to the shows from the movies.As for whether the films will feature any of the TV shows' characters if they're used on the big screen -- a reporter asked if, for example, a Spider-Man movie featuring Kingpin would use Vincent D'Onforio -- Feige said, "I don't know, probably. That would probably be the cool thing to do. That particular scenario has not come up yet."
