How can the MCU solve the “high bar” conundrum?

1) Tony Stark’s & Steve Rogers’ leadership is irreplaceable. War Machine and Falcon as Cap won’t be able to fill these roles for the ‘New’ Avengers. It just wouldn’t be the same. It would only make fans miss Iron-Man and Cap more and more.

2) There’s no more S.H.I.E.L.D. Shield had some quite important roles in the first 2 Avengers movies, Iron-Man 2,& CA:WS. I’m not saying bring them back but I just don’t see anything right now that would help build up the New Avengers.

3) Another iconic character is the Black Widow. Also irreplaceable. Same could be said to Maria Hill, why do they have to kill her? Doesn’t make any sense.

I’m not saying bring them all back, but if you’re going to make New Avengers, you need to build the team and there’s just nothing to start over with because all the new films and Disney+ flicks aren’t building up onto something new. Hawkeye was the only one that’s promising.

I don’t think it will ever be the same because the Avengers have always been defined, from the cartoons, comic books, and MCUs Phase 1-3. The bar was set. Bringing back the old team when you’re missing Iron-Man, Cap, and Black Widow would not meet expectations, because it’s basically just the old team minus the iconic characters, so there has to be something better than them. Who?

If this new Avengers would really happen, they would probably make a push on the G’iah character, maybe Shang-Chi? It’s the only plays that the MCU have that I could think of. We're about to enter 2024 and there should have been something by now.

Maybe I was spoiled on how good the past decade was, Idk. I believe they’re only trying to meet Disney+ subscribers numbers these days.
