As much as I'd love it. I was going to bring that idea up, since I think that would be the most plausible way to do it, although with the actors who are portraying these characters, I kinda doubt they would make time off of their schedule just to do a short film.

And I'm not one of those people demanding Marvel to cross-over the movies and the shows, since most of the time it's not warranted or needed. Like I saw a dumb think-piece before 'Infinity War' came out making the claim "Why the Defenders NEEDS to be in 'Infinity War'". And without spoiling it, after having seen it, at no point did I think to myself "This would've been a good spot to have the TV characters in!", or "This scene would've been so much better if the Defenders characters showed up!". See, that's the problem with "news" sites; they only focus on the Defenders. Asking for the Defenders in Infinity War is as ridiculous as asking for the Runaways. The Agents and Peggy are the only ones with ties to the Avengers, through Coulson and Peggy herself, so they're the only TV characters that would make sense to show up in this movie.

Even though, let's be honest, none of them will. Which is a shame, because Coulson and Peggy deserve it. In terms of crossing over and such, I realistically expect it to happen between shows (not just Avengers-style like 'The Defenders', but even small cameos and guest appearances), rather than shows and movies, since according to the Russos that would require involving the showrunners to make it faithful like they did with the non-Avengers characters (Strange, Black Panther, the Guardians), and that would be too much even for a movie like 'Infinity War'. Some people may call that lazy on their part for not going that way, but I give respect knowing that if they were to do it, they would consider doing it with care, rather than just shoe-horning it in.
