Kevin Feige managed to get Marvel Studios (the film studio) split off from Marvel Entertainment (the comics and TV part of the company) so he now reports directly to Walt Disney Studios instead of Marvel Entertainment. The head of Marvel Entertainment, Isaac Perlmutter is a complete knobend, he's a member of Trump's cabinet and was the reason Fantastic Four and X-Men characters appeared in less games, merchandise and marketing material. The Fantastic Four comic was also cancelled for a few years and some of the characters weren't allowed to appear in other comics at all due to his pettiness over Marvel not having the movie rights to the characters. From the sounds of things it was Perlmutter that wanted an Inhumans movie and for that side of the universe to basically be the replacement for X-Men since they didn't have the rights to that either but after Marvel Studios split off to Disney, that was cancelled and they rushed out that low-budget TV show instead.
I wouldn't expect anything major to happen in SHIELD, Cloak & Dagger, Runaways or the Netflix shows other than some little references or whatever. They really should just split it off from the MCU completely and do what the CW does with their DC shows having them in their own continuity.
