I wouldn't rule this idea out because Marvel as a studio has a history of trying things that haven't been done before with comic book adaptations. I mean the idea of staying after the credits being mandatory was cemented by IRON MAN and INCREDIBLE HULK. And there is a precedent for a TV version going to the cinemas. The sixties BATMAN series had a major motion picture released between seasons 1 and 2, mainly to use to pitch the show to the European market. So I can't say it's not possible or has never been done. I will say it is unlikely.
