4. Coulson Returns

Coulson is great. He's just great. He was the capable, soft-spoken average agent in a sea of big and bombastic super personalities that connected Phase One and kept things together, before becoming the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the series, establishing him as one of the most nuanced, interesting, and fun leaders in a Marvel TV series.

Seeing him in his early years, perhaps even as a junior agent, or the mild-mannered, secret badass, and trusted right hand of people like Nick Fury and Maria Hill, is something fans are looking forward to seeing again. Especially given his Kree connection in the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. TV series. Should fans be looking forward to events of the film crossing over into TV canon?

Having Clark Gregg return to the big screen doesn't only give fans back a favourite, but also sets an enormously exciting precedent for the MCU's TV shows to affect its films, or at least have characters from those shows appear in blockbuster films, instead of it being an irreversible exile to the small screen. It's been something fans have been wanting for years, and Coulson's return gives everyone hope that it won't just be a one off.
