If i remember correctly, Kevin Feige stated wasn't sure if the character that appeared on Doctor Strange portrayed by Linda Louise Duan was actually Tina Minoru. It was probably scrapped by the final movie but it remains on the official promo comic.

If it is confirmed that The Runaways is in the MCU, there will probably be two different Tina Minoru, just like Cameron Klein and Cameron Klein / Hank Thompson. I hope you're right. Still, it doesn't hurt to be a tad skeptical. Or she could easily just be a recast, like Rhodey, Banner or others. There is really no reason why Runaways shouldn't be in the MCU. They own the property (unlike FOX and Sony properties), and why would they start branching out into different continuities now? Doctor Strange's "multiverse" were parallel dimensions, not actual alternate realities. So until we actually get a film that establishes those (probably in a Doctor Strange sequel), there will likely be no exploration of the greater multiverse in the live-action properties.
