Behind the Scenes

Continuity

The content of the book substantially contradicts the events of film. In the book, after Nick Fury meets Steve Rogers at the gym, Rogers is introduced to the already assembled Avengers. Days after their meeting, Loki attacks New York City. Thus, making the book non-canon to the MCU.
