Hate to break it to you, guys, but it looks like Iron Man 2: Public Identity is no longer canon, despite having the seal. It shows Howard Stark meeting Anton Vanko in 1963; however, Costa Ronin has been cast to play Vanko on Agent Carter, circa 1946. Also, the Thor: The Dark World Official Tie-In Comics (complete with red seal) featured the Badoon, which are not allowed to appear in the MCU due to their rights being owned by Fox. They were replaced by the Sakaarans in Guardians of the Galaxy. I think that the tie-in comics should be considered apocryphal unless explicitly referenced on screen. The name of the universe is, after all, the CINEMATIC universe.
