The Rumour: After being "killed" in The Avengers and subsequently resurrected in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, Agent Coulson will finally return to the MCU, much to the surprise of, well, everyone.

How Much We Believed It: Joss Whedon has previously been very clear that, to him, Coulson is basically dead in the movies, and so it seems incredibly unlikely that they would dare draw attention to him still being alive on the TV show.

It would undermine any meaning or importance that death has in these films, and again just add more narrative bloat and exposition to an already busy film with plenty to do. 2/10

The Truth: Coulson doesn't show up or get mentioned in any way, and that's absolutely how it should be.
