On paper, Marvel has pretty much all of their rights now. But some are more in their control then others. Case & point Sony still holds the Spider-Man cinematic rights, nothing has changed for them in that regard. They just have a special deal with Disney that allows them to have Spider-Man and his supporting character be canon in the MCU irregardless of the fact.

Universal apparently also has the distribution rights to The Hulk (and possibly the Namor the Sub-Mariner too) and for reasons that are unrevealed Disney can't do a Hulk solo film without involving them somehow.
