Come to think of it, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Black Widow bites it during Infinity War. She's always struggled to bring anything to the table beyond "is a woman" and "is sexy," so with the growing number of female superheroes in the MCU I wouldn't be surprised if this is where Black Widow checks out.
Didn’t they announce a solo film?

They hired a director for one. I figured it would be a prequel like Captain Marvel.

Just a writer, not a director.

I'm still skeptical that it'll actually happen, mainly because I've always envisioned the character, at least outside an Avengers context, being much better suited to smaller-scale spy stories than to pyrotechnic-laden spectacle (I'm pretty sure her last few ongoing series all went in that direction). You could say "well, not every Marvel Studios film needs a $170m budget," but the fact that they pawned off Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and Punisher to their TV division suggests that they aren't interested in making films for eight figures.

That said, it's not 2013 anymore, and the new Disney streaming service could open up an avenue for Marvel Studios to make more modestly budgeted films, but there haven't been any rumors of that as yet.

Avengers 3 will end with Thanos snapping his fingers and killing half of the universe but the Russos have been bonding with Waititi so Avengers 4 will be a mockumentary of the team and how everything got fixed

I doubt that they're gonna jettison one of the biggest stars not just in the MCU, but Hollywood in general, because the writing has struggled with her. If she's leaving it'll be because ScarJo wants to.

Loki is absolutely biting it and Evans said he's done after his reshoots on Avengers 4. RDJ will likely move into a voiceover role (Jarvis replacement, basically) since they seem to be signposting hard that Pepper Potts will become Rescue.

And then one minor character like Wong or Ross or Rhodes will get whacked. It's still a movie with a toyline aimed at kids, they aren't going to have characters dying every twenty minutes.

RDJ's been very up front about only continuing because they pay him a shitload of money.

Well she wore the suit in IM3. Also the whole Extremis and killing Killian show she might have some fight in her?

Didn’t the Rescue suit end up trying to kill her in the comics?

There are none. She was by all reports done with the role after IM3 (she wasn't in CA:CW) and only came back to do Homecoming because her career kind of hit the skids.

I only want to see Rescue as mentor to Riri.

In fact her and Rhodey as dual opposite sides odd couple mentors trying to fill Tony's absence (he dead) would be kinda cool.

The fact that they had Mads Mikkelson auditioning for Reed when I can't think of a more perfect actor for Doom shows how misguided the casting of that move was.

Since Mads got used in Doctor Strange, my backup actor is Javier Bardem. Or they could just use Mads again, it's not like people will go "Hey! That's Kaecilius!"

Also I know I've campaigned for Freddie Prinze Jr and Sarah Michelle Gellar to play Reed and Sue, but that's not gonna happen so I'll change my casting to Oscar Isaac and Evan Rachel Wood.

Cole Sprouse can be Johnny. I can't think of anyone sufficiently New York enough to play Thing though, so help me out.
