This brings up an interesting question regarding the MCU: what exactly are their plans once Avengers is finished? We'll continue getting new films, but will they actually be building up to anything? All these stupid films over the years have been building up the Avengers and this big Infinity War event.
Now that the Avengers franchise is coming to an end and the Infinity War event is going to be over with, what are the news films going to be based around? Are they just all going to be standalone films in their own franchises that will continue getting milked until Disney finally decides to end the MCU?
Short answer is: Kamala Khan film, more Black Panther, possibly more Thor (Hemsworth liked the retool done for Thor 3), possibly replacing the Avengers with the Ultimates (the mainstream Marvel version with MAH DIVERSITY line-up). Possibly Ant Man and Dr Strange, continuing as the token white male film series.
Long answer: Disney doesn't fucking know, because the buying of Fox changed EVERYTHING by bringing the X-Men and Fantastic Four back into play for Disney.
With the X-Men now under Disney's control, they don't need the Avengers at all anymore or any of the other Marvel characters. Even Carol is irrelevant and assuming Brie Larson knows what happened to Carol in the comic, her recent spat of cunt behavior probably is due to her knowing Disney would gladly off her character in a heartbeat, if they could get Ann Paquin back full time as Rogue.
Same with the Fantastic Four, which has the added bonus of bringing Doom, Galactus, Silver Surfer, etc back into the fold. Which, in turn protects Black Panther and Ant Man, since both are basically honorary members of the Richards family. And Doom himself keeps Dr Strange in play since one of the most famous Dr Strange stories is a Strange/Doom team-up.
Hell, they would probably turn Kamala Khan into a mutant (and force Marvel to rewrite the character's backstory to make her a mutant and not an Inhuman) if push came to shove, given how Marvel's got a huge hard-on for pushing Ms Marvel in order to use the X-Men to shill her to the masses.
The biggest loser though are the Guardians of the Galaxy; they don't need GOTG if they have Fantastic Four and X-Men, let alone basically retooling Thor into Guardians lite. Best case scenario, is that Star Lord gets folded into the Fantastic Four movie line or Thor line.
