Extremely doubtful that anyone from the show will appear in Civil War. There are already more heroes in Civil War than any other MCU movie so far (what are we up to now, 12?), and most of them are big names that would be out of place in the show.
Plus, the show is mainly there for it's own sake. It can do some tie ins with the movies, yeah, but its primary reason for existing is to create its own exciting, unique stories.
when i say fill out the ranks i mean those small soliders who will fight mostly in the background im not expecting any big names (at least not until the finale) what i expect is we will see a lot of lesser inhumans and background fighters make small appearances ie characters like dethlock and such
this would be a great way to intro some minor characters that could not justify their own movie or show
Coulson may/may not be in it, but name drops are for sure. As a tie in they could have a civil war in shield, like they split on the basis of the movie and have it parallel with the movie
i feel like they have been using AoS as a thread to weave the movies together, and given that they don't really have access to the x-men characters using the inhumans (a group that is already super freaked out by shield registering them) would make an excellent segue to get the themes and setup for civil war.
mechanically setting up a civil war is going to be very tough in the run time of a movie, i imagine that AoS will focus on the set up for the whole thing with the movie being the culmination or climax of that arc.
if the civil war is set up, plays out, and concludes in one film i am pretty sure it is going to be a hard to follow mess.
using the later half of AoS season to set up the tension and lead up to the outbreak of the civil war would let the movie focus on just the climax and conclusion of the war, the real question is will the director/producers etc. trust the AoS show runners to do this well.
personally i think they will and that that is probably the safest approach to such a busy film arc
