Is It Possible For The Marvel Anime's And Ultimate Spider-Man To Be Apart Of the MCU?

New reasons to why I believe it may be possible for the new Marvel animated shows to be cannon with the MCU movies...

Done out of boredom, I was watching the Iron Man Anime, and realized there are a lot of scenes straight out of the Iron Man movie, or at least relatively similar to the movie.









Unfortuantly I could not find the pictures to match these scenes, but if anyone wants to find them and post them in the comments section feel free.


For the most part the getting captured, building armor, etc. are the same. Even Tony's house is pretty similar to the movie.
In the episode below you can see everything more clearly (including a race car strikingly similar to IM2's).

The premise for Iron Man Anime is set 5 years after he becomes Iron Man (which in movie years I believe is 2010), so there is still time for new stories to appear.

Now for Ultimate Spider-Man, we havn't seen or heard much, but we do know that Clark Gregg reprises his role og Phil Coulson and Nick Fury is black.
But Gregg did recently say this:


Now that is not a confirmation, but I take it as a subtle hint..... And if this is coincidence or not, the voice of Iron Man in Iron Man Anime has confirmed he will be voicing Iron Man once more in Ultimate Spider-Man.
NOTE: this is also Marvel's first Spider-Man series that they are creating themselves.

If my theory is correct then:
Blade Anime
X-Men Anime
Wolverine Anime
Iron Man Anime
Ultimate Spider-Man
Iron Man 1 & 2
The Incredible Hulk
Thor
Captain America: The First Avenger
and The Avengers would make up the new MCU

So is this just a clever way of having Wolverine, Spider-Man, and Iron Man in one universe besides the comics or just a bunch of coincidences? You decide in the comment section!

The Anime is its own seperate universe (with IM being heavy influenced by the popular movie)... not that that wasnt obvious.. let alone the fact that the Anime univers includes not marvel movie properties like the X-Men and Wolverine who made a guest appearance Iron Man.

so no, no it is not.

Same goes USM.

nice article, but doubt it, they won't have an established continuity ever with this stuff because they may get the rights back to them with films...

Spectacular Spider-Man was heavily influenced by the Spidey films (heck, they pull quite a few shots from the films and convert them into the animated show, such as the church scene from Spidey 3 and Spidey on a train from #2), and I'm confident that they weren't sharing the same universe.
Good investigation though.

Too bad the Marvel anime's have been a tad crappy to be honest... but interesting theory

the anime series have taken some elements but the origin of iron man is a bit different from the film in the cartoon.

The "Iron Man" anime is so similar that it's almost like a slightly alternate universe of the MCU. As for "Ultimate Spider-Man", well.......Coulson has yet to exist outside of the MCU films and comics, so it's quite likely that this is just Marvel using Spidey in the MCU in the only way that they really can ((aside from comics)).

And another, slightly perdantic issue, is that the anime cartoons are not cinematic. So that would kind of spoil the whole Marvel CINEMATIC Universe thing (mind you, that doesn't stop some comicbooks being official canon).

Some things are part of the MCU and some things are just inspired by them.

Would be cool to find out offically what is what though. We need a list!
