It's a bit concerning some sights are reporting Captain Marvel is when Coulson and Fury meet. Hopefully they're misquoting since AOS "Providence" already revealed Fury recruited him when he was just out of high school in 1982. Some people are justifying this on Reddit by saying that maybe Fury, as a desk jockey, monitors people who could be potential assets for SHIELD, and sent a letter or a random agent to recruit Coulson, and they also justify them not meeting in person until the 1990's as "Coulson went to and finished college on SHIELD's dime, then went to the academy for a few years, then has been a trainee for a year or two and is now within Fury's circle of influence".

Seems like a lot of reaching to me, but there's also a common belief that since Clark Gregg is so passionate about Agents of SHIELD, he made sure the movie wouldn't contradict anything from the show. I don't believe that's true (I believe in his passion for the show, but not that he'd become a Continuity Consultant on the movie), though I would very much like to. Especially since there should be somebody from Marvel double checking the script to make sure there's no contradictions, considering the TV side has someone from Studios constantly checking their scripts to make sure all references are appropriate, as said by both Loeb and multiple showrunners, including Metzner.

But we'll see. Wouldn't be the first time or the last time the movies ignored information established by Agents of SHIELD.
