I brought this up on Talk:Marvel's Runaways as confirmation on the question on whether or not it is in the MCU. I am both surprised, and not surprised.

I am not surprised since it's a show developed by Marvel Television, that isn't X-Men related, and has the word "Marvel's" as part of the title (which the two other X-Men shows, 'Legion' and 'The Gifted', don't have it). And with Tina Minoru (Earth-199999) appearing in it, they may reference the stuff that happened in Doctor Strange (film) (unless they retcon it that the Tina we saw in the prequel comics and the film as a cameo wasn't her).

I am do surprised since it's a show made for Hulu, and that it will essentially take place in the same world as Netflix's 'Defenders' shows, who are their competition in terms of streaming services. But I guess it's ultimately down to Marvel Television when it comes to creative control on if it's its own continuity or sharing with the other ones.
