- The weapon Coulson uses is the same one portrayed in The Avengers and the Agents of SHIELD television series.
- In Phil's idle animation he brings out a trading card with Captain America on it, This is a reference to The Avengers when he asked Steve to sign them but he declined. After Coulson dies, Fury gives the cards that are splattered with blood to Steve saying he wanted him to sign them.
- Coulson's inclusion in the game is a little off-canon as in the Marvel Cinematic Universe only high ranking (level 7 and above) agents of SHIELD, and Lady Sif due to a crossover episode, know he's alive and this information has deliberately been kept from the Avengers. The circumstances of Coulson's return to life have yet to be fully explained and act as an ongoing plot point for the Agents of SHIELD television series.
