Isn't the The Incredible Hulk movie part of the MCU? Thunderbolt Ross appears in it and Stark has a cameo.

Right, but Thunderbolt Ross has been played by both Sam Elliot and then William Hurt.
" Betty ", his daughter, hasn't carried over into this version of the MCU yet.
I do find it curious that the Hulk stories with Eric Bana --> Ed Norton --> and now Mark Ruffalo continue w/ General / SecState Ross but don't ( yet ) mention Betty.
Are 2003 and 2008 " Hulk " movies considered part of the MCU ? As I understand it, the " official " MCU context starts w/ Iron Man ( 2008 ) and basically glosses over the prior Hulk movies, despite the fact that William Hurt's version of ' Ross ' appears in both.
As there are so many damn characters, from Defenders ,Guardians, X-Men, SHIELD, and The Avengers, this could get very confusing before too long.
I think the plan is to keep 'TV' and 'Cinema ' story lines as distant and separate as possible, though with vague references tossed in, as needed.
* ETA - Despite Hulk being played by Ed Norton in '08, that Hulk's story is found in the later MCU version of Hulk, so for continuity , Ed Norton = Mark Ruffalo, and Eric Bana gets left out the cold.
So ' Betty ' , could still appear and make things awkward for Bruce and Natasha.

I've rewatched it plenty of times. Probably my favorite MCU movie so far. I'm on team Tony though. I mean I don't like the government oversight, but I think he's right in saying that if they didn't do it then it would be done to them. If they don't get in on the ground floor and play ball then they'd end up at war with the governments of the world. They can't help anyone if they can't even setup a base of operations. Granted it was convenient that they met Black Panther and could setup a base in wakanda by the end of the movie, but Tony didn't have that option at the time.
As for Betty I've read there are rumors that she might be in one of the next two Avengers movies. So, I think she still does exist in the MCU from the Incredible Hulk movie. It's also a slight nod to her existence that Tony calls the Hulk Buster armor Veronica. It's kinda the anti-Betty which would be Veronica if we're talking Archie Comics.
