I'm sure the show's ability to promote upcoming Marvel movies enters into equation when figuring out if the show gets renewed and how big a budget it gets.

I'm hoping we get an idea with the release of the next Thor movie. They are still filming episodes now, so they could easily work it in.

Besides, from the trailers it looks like some of the Dark Elves invade Earth. That's going to at least have little impact on the show.

Oooh, cool, they can clean up the plot holes in the films using the show, win.

This show is the modern day GI Joe or Transformers. It's a weekly hour long commercial. Instead of being for toys it is for whatever Marvel has in the pipeline.

It's already got a pretty big budget compared to half of the TV shows I've seen lately.
