Simply recasting the Evans/RDJ versions wouldn't fly with audiences, there has to be a new angle.

For Captain America you need an identity twist where another hero from a show / origin film takes on the role of Captain America after the real / main version has been dead off-screen for a few years in exchange for not going to prison for his former vigilantism. For Iron Man you pretty much have to keep him as a helpful sidekick because whoever you cast is going to inevitably be compared to RDJ's performance (which will only get better with time and nostalgia) and there's no point in trying to top the first origin film either.

No need for gimmicks, just recast them. I'd say Theo James would make a good Tony Stark.

they had the opportunity to pass the Captain America mantle to Bucky, but fumbled it by giving it to Sam instead. they could pivot to John Walker, he's well liked.
Iron Man is easy enough to reboot, his suits must still be out there somewhere. just have somebody get their hands on them and take up the mantle.

4chan vastly overrates how much normies care about Walker.

Could do some 2099 stories and characters, like Arno Stark, Tony's criminal descendant, maybe do a Days of Future Past type thing where events in the far future alter/cancel/reset the present in a more straight up linear time travel way as opposed to multiverse shit, leaving a clean slate, then ultimately recast the 'present' MCU characters retconned as happening later, (the same way Tony built his armour from a box of scraps in Vietnam originally, but gets reconned to later wars each decade or two).

Like you have maybe a couple of characters from the present MCU get pulled into the future by 2099 fags, where all the 2099 versions are running around played by new actors, and have some epic time-spanning battle that affects the present, then you have a clear slate and a bunch of 2099 characters you could bring in later if they hit a chord.

Have some dramatic events and main character deaths, like cast a new Dr. Doom that Epsteins his future self, (kino in the comics), maybe leave CURRENT YEAR characters lost in time or in the future so you can bring them back later if you want but don't have to.

Just saw this scene from Ultron and thinking how cool it was the ambiguity of his death. Notice he takes a step toward Vision while they're talking closing the distance, and you never actually see what happened. Meaning Ultron could have inserted his code in some kind of dormant state inside Vision or whatever. So easy to bring back and doesn't conflict with the prior films.

That's the kind of thing the MCU should have been doing and planning all along. Not just lazily bring back fags because 'muh multiverse'. Like actually make it interesting and cool.

he's gotten a good reception, he's just been in flops because he's been shackled to tv characters no one cares about. slap the Captain America title on him and it would probably do decently well.

I know theyre too money hungry to have foresight but in my opinion, I wouldnt bring back Iron Man, Captain America, or any of the other characters that they used for several years if at all. Marvel has so many characters they could probably make several Cinematic universes and never repeat characters.

He is a TV character no one cares about, my dude.
