At this point there is probably more bad than good MCU content.
Deadpool and Wolverine was good but mostly because it was a throwback to those old Singer X-Men movies. Which is cool for 1 film but doesn't have much of a future overall.
Bringing back RDJ is yet another 'dead end' in terms of continuity. Guardians 3 was the last Guardians movie with this crew, so that's the end of the road there too.
I'm not sure what they can do to revive it, Harrison Ford? really? Why not bring John Travolta into the MCU if you're at it.
With the MCU they had this rare opportunity to elevate somewhat known and popular actors to box office juggernauts for all the Avengers.
Sydney Sweeney might make a difference, she's rumored to join for Spider-Man. But Spider-Man is sort of its own thing within the MCU. But who else can they get? I don't see Rebecca Ferguson or Glen Powell jumping aboard. They're more likely to team up with Tom Cruise instead. Disney attracted the worst writers, actors and possibly the worst directors who are basically just phoning it in, and they nickle and dime on the CG too. And the last time they did bring in a great actor like Christian Bale, they completely fumbled it.
To be fair the MCU was always a potemkin village of sorts (Mickey Rourke? Really?) but it was always done in a way that the cash grab wasn't too obvious for the audience.
