As we all know Marvel Cinematic Universe is all connected, in every single film there is at least one character or reference that interlinks with the movie/series showing its apart of the other movies.

Iron Man 1 (2008)
Iron Man the first movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, you can see Phil Coulson (Portrayed by Clark Gregg) as a supporting character who also appears in Iron Man 2, Thor and The Avengers also is the main cast in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. television series.

The Incredible Hulk (2008)
Now possible the least favourite MCU movie and pretty much the worst according to me. However, basically only one Marvel Cinematic Universe interlink during the post-credits scene where Tony Stark (Portrayed by Robert Downey Jr. who also appears in Iron Man 1, Iron Man 2, The Avengers, Iron Man 3, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Captain America: Civil War) visits Thaddeus Ross at a bar where Ross is drinking to talk to him about forming a team (foreshadowing The Avengers movie again).
