Marvel Studios executive Brad Winderbaum recently addressed the canon status of Agents of SHIELD in the MCU's Multiverse Saga.

For years, fans have been debating whether the beloved ABC series has its place in the MCU, especially now that it is exploring the multiverse where they have the opportunity to acknowledge its placement.

So far, we haven't seen any of the Marvel Studios projects recognize the storyline of Agents of SHIELD even if its earlier episodes have tie-ins to the MCU movies. Now, it looks like there may be some connection, after all.

In a recent interview, Winderbaum was asked whether there are chances for Agents of SHIELD to become part of the main MCU canon.

He responded by expressing his love for the series and suggested that it could have a place in the MCU's Multiverse Saga after all.

"I think that Agents of SHIELD is a really great show and there was a long time where some of the best reveals in that show were during the Winter Soldier era where Hydra emerges and you're like, 'Oh my gosh!' I remember that feeling, even knowing what was happening, just being a fan, [going] 'It really is connected!'" the Marvel Studios executive said.

"I think that there is, in a crazy way, like you said, it does feel like it fits into The Multiverse Saga in an incredible way. I want to go down this road with you, you know I do, but we're just gonna take a deep breath for a second. Just know that I love that cast, I love Clark Gregg and I love that show."

While Winderbaum didn't necessarily confirm that they will recognize the series as part of their Multiverse Saga storytelling, it is an encouraging comment for fans since it's an indication that they acknowledge its importance.

We've seen throughout the saga that the multiverse has infinite possibilities and there will be no issue at all if they decide to integrate Agents of SHIELD in some capacity.

For now, let's wait and see how it all plays out in the future once we see the puzzle pieces come together in the future, but supporters of the series should be encouraged by this comment.
