The Marvel Cinematic Universe Films never reference anything done by Characters in any of the Television Series or the Events that take place, but the Television Division makes frequent references in almost every Show. We would like to prove this to you, so we have compiled a diverse range of References to the Movies and their Narratives made in different Seasons of the Marvel TV Shows. The Majority of these have been extracted from MarvelCinematicUniverseWikia. com. Click here to the site to view all References and Easter Eggs for the Movies.

MARVEL’S DAREDEVIL

Season 1

  • Ben Urich covered the news for the main events portrayed in New York City during the Marvel Cinematic Universe films up to that moment, more specifically the Duel of Harlem from The Incredible Hulk and the Battle of New York from The Avengers. The only one that was missing was the Battle at Stark Expo from Iron Man 2.
  • Foggy Nelson namedrops Captain America in the episode Speak of the Devil, who in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a publicly known superhero.

Season 1

MARVEL’S JESSICA JONES

  • Similar to Daredevil, the Battle of New York is called “The Incident” in the episode AKA 99 Friends. The battle is also mentioned in the episode AKA It’s Called Whiskey.
  • In the episode AKA It’s Called Whiskey, Luke Cage mentions Hulk and the Avengers as “the big green dude and his crew”.

Season 2

  • The Raft, an underwater prison introduced in Captain America: Civil War, is mentioned in several episodes of Season Two.

MARVEL’S LUKE CAGE

Season 1

  • DW is shown selling DVDs of the Incident on the street of Harlem.
  • Rafael Scarfe witnessed the Incident from the ground, making him realizing how irrelevant the police was.
  • The Judas Bullet was created by Hammer Industries from salvaged Chitauri technology from the Incident.

Season 2

  • In Episode 5: “All Souled Out”, at the party, someone asks Luke, “Who’s tougher: you or the Green Monster?” Undoubtedly, this is referring to Bruce Banner’s alter-Ego  ‘The Hulk’, who was last seen getting beaten by Thanos in Infinity War.
  • In Episode 9: “For Pete’s Sake”, it is revealed that all of those guns that Mariah sold were Hammer Tech, which is owned and operated by Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell) from “Iron Man 2.” Those weapons were able to fire the Judas bullets that previously used to be able to harm Luke before he got his second bath.

MARVEL’S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.

Multiple Seasons

  • Many characters from the movies and one-shots have appeared in recurring or guest roles, such as Phil Coulson, Maria Hill, Nick Fury, Felix Blake, Jasper Sitwell, Sif, Peggy Carter, Dum Dum Dugan, Jim Morita, Doctor List, Matthew Ellis and Gideon Malick.

Season 1

  • References to the Avengers as a team as well as individual members Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and Hulk, and agents Clint Barton and Natasha Romanoff.
  • Phil Coulson’s “Cellist” former girlfriend from The Avengers is referenced both by Coulson and Raina before being formally introduced, revealing her name as Audrey Nathan.
  • Emil Blonsky’s fate after the events depicted in The Incredible Hulk is revealed. He is contained in a cryo-cell in Alaska.

Season 3

  • In Episode 11: “Bouncing Back”, Phil Coulson tells Matthew Ellis: “We’ll keep doing what we do, and you’ll keep pretending we don’t exist.” This may be a meta reference to the fact that the continuity of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has not yet been acknowledged within the narrative of the Marvel Cinematic Universe films.

Season 4

  • In Season 4, it is revealed that the newly appointed Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Jeffrey Mace, was in Vienna during the Events of Captain America: Civil War, when Helmut Zemo set off the Bombs that killed King T’Chaka, the father of T’Challa/Black Panther. According to a Photograph taken during the Bombing, Jeffrey used his supposed Inhuman Powers of Strength to rescue an injured Civillian from a chunk of falling Debris. This is then later debunked, as it is revealed that Mace’s Powers come from an Experimental Serum, and that he tripped at the Vienna Summit, but the Photo made it look like he was a Hero.

Season 5

  • In Episode 21: “The Force of Gravity”, Glenn Talbot/Graviton is warned by Qovas and Taryan that an attack on Earth led by Thanos was imminent. As Talbot decided to leave and fight Thanos, Taryan advised him against it, claiming that Thanos was too powerful even for Talbot. Taryan, Qovas and Talbot all agreed that Talbot had to absorb more Gravitonium to become more powerful.
