Clarifying why it's been difficult to crossover (https://www.yahoo.com/tech/marvel-explains-why-ll-likely-never-see-tv-230011928.html) the characters from Marvel's Netflix shows into the feature films, Marvel Television head Jeph Loeb explained what makes the Marvel Cinematic Universe connected, apart from cameos and guest-appearances. "I can tell you that part of the challenge of doing this sort of thing is that the movies are planned out years in advance of what it is that we are doing," Loeb told /Film. The other part of the problem is that when you stop and think about it, if I’m shooting a television series and that’s going to go on over a six-month or eight-month period, how am I going to get Mike [Colter] to be able to go be in a movie? While the properties all take place in the same universe, Loeb says it's logistically difficult to get the TV actors to appear in the films because of their rigorous schedule.
