* ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManSpiderVerse'' series (2018-present) - ''[[WesternAnimation/SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse Across the Spider-Verse]]'' establishes that ''every'' Spider-Man film continuity (as well as several in other media) is canon to the series, including the MCU; with it directly referencing the events of ''Spider-Man: No Way Home'', naming the MCU's comics designation of Earth-199999, and [[spoiler:including Creator/DonaldGlover making a cameo as his MCU character Aaron Davis (or at least a Multiversal Variant of him)]]. However, [[SchizoContinuity the reverse may not be true]], as Marvel Studios is not involved in the film and has generally been reluctant to acknowledge Sony's non-MCU movies (outside of the crossover in ''No Way Home''). Prior to this, the continuities were indirectly linked through Film/SonysSpiderManUniverse.[[note]]The MCU and SSU interacted with one another in 2021-2022, while TheStinger of ''Film/{{Venom|2018}}'' cross-promotes ''[[WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse Into the Spider-Verse]]'' and claims it takes place "Elsewhere in the Multiverse". Also, in ''[[WesternAnimation/SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse Across the Spider-Verse]], The Spot briefly visits the SSU and converses with Mrs. Chen.[[/note]]

* Untitled series by Creator/JohnRidley [[note]]Originally announced for ABC in April 2015. The Creator/JohnRidley series was greenlit under former President of ABC Entertainment Paul Lee, who vacated the position while in development. His replacement, Channing Dungey, claimed to be unsure of the project's status as of August 2017. Though Creator/MarvelTelevision EVP Creator/JephLoeb expressed optimism for the project in June 2018, Dungey's departure in December 2018 had cast doubt over its likelihood of happening. The series was said to be a new take on an existing Marvel character, while separate rumors suggested it would involve ComicBook/KamalaKhan in some capacity. Others reported that it was meant to involve ComicBook/TheEternals before those characters were instead considered for film.[[/note]]

The current canonicity of these TV shows is unknown; they've never officially been declared CanonDiscontinuity, but they also haven't been treated as canon works since the Multiverse Saga began. (The shows available on Disney+ are usually labeled "Marvel Legacy" content like other non-MCU works and are not included in explicitly MCU-focused categories, and tie-in material like the ''MCU Official Timeline'' book ignores them as well.) On the other hand, ''Avengers: Endgame'' and a number of Multiverse Saga works have had some TV actors return to [[RoleReprise reprise their roles]] in cameo appearances, suggesting that at least the BroadStrokes of their series may be canon. ''Daredevil'' is scheduled to be revived sometime in the Multiverse Saga with the same lead actors, but it's not clear just how much of the Netflix run remains in canon.

** ''Nick Fury'' (2008–2012)[[note]]Part of the Phase One slate; ultimately canceled with Nick Fury himself instead of becoming a connective force between movies. Possibly retooled into the ''Secret Invasion'' series for Creator/DisneyPlus.[[/note]]
