Doom duology reboot must axe Spider-Man and Hulk
It's basically confirmed that the next two Avengers films will become the beginning of a new MCU with some reboots and some retcons. And part of it should be erasing Spider-Man and Hulk, or reworking Hulk a lot. And before I get into the details, I love both of those characters in comics and liked most of their appearances in MCU.
But their characters are suffering from both rights disputes and how long currently it takes to produce a single film/series. Because of weird Universal-Disney deals Hulk has been relegated to a supporting role, denied sensible on-screen growth and ultimately basically retired. And whether they recast Ruffalo and create new Banner/Hulk or keep him, the result will be the same- no solo projects, no World War Hulk, no Maestro, no nothing. And all the amazing Hulk-related characters? Also left in the freezer
Then there's the webhead, who everyone thought will become the main character of MCU after Endgame. He got a cool storyline, in July he'll be back with new existential problems, after five years of nothing. And that nothing is a real issue- in the meantime he missed one apocalyptic event in New York, one massive gunfight in the city centre and the whole Kingpin dictatorship. No amount of villain fight montages in July will patch over Spider-Man being absent from the most important events in NY at that time. With more and more stories told in series and a long pause in team up/Spider-Man films, he's effectively coming back to the MCU instead of picking up from where NWH ended.
The rights to those characters stand in the way of any sensible storytelling using them or their allies- and with Sony and Universal not willing to sell/budge on how the characters are used, then Marvel should use the opportunity to retcon them out
