Eh, I like the character development that comes along with maintaining a more or less stable cast. The new season is going to have new additions to the team and guest stars though.
Its only been one season so far. Season two is starting soon. I think they are approaching this idea slowly. We first started with Iron Man, Giant Man, Wasp, Hulk, and Thor. Then added Captain America, and lost Hulk. Later added Hulk, Hawkeye, Black Panther. Then lost Giant Man. I think the team will eventually become more of a rotating cast, just slowly and realistically. I know we will eventually get Ms. Marvel, and maybe the return of Captain Mar-Vell, and eventually Wonder Man as a good guy. So we are slowly developing these characters.
But with the movies I would LOVE to see the movies keep going once an actor's contract is up. I don't see Johansson or Evans or Downey Jr. sticking around to play their character once their contracts are up. Once Evans has done the movies that are in his contract for him to do he will leave. Same with all the others.
But since there are SO MANY AVENGERS, why not just bring the others in. Like in Law and Order when one lawyer left another stepped in, or when a cop left a new cop started. Why not just bring in other Avengers?
Have Giant Man and Wasp in Avengers 2 or 3, and then keep them as Avengers for three movies and they can leave around Avengers 4 or 5, and in Avengers 4 bring in She Hulk and maybe Hercules or Scarlet Witch. Keep them in the Avengers fro another three movies (Avengers 4-6) and keep bringing in new characters when the other actor's contracts are up.
You can work through so many characters, heroes and villains, and bring in so many storylines. Maybe eventually get the Avengers movies into the double digits.
Plus these Avengers movies could even become springboards for their own solo movies. I think a Hawkeye movie is in the works right? And maybe a Black Widow movie, and if they used a character like She Hulk or Herc they could get their own solo. Maybe even introduce a character like Dr. Strange as an Avenger (since he is one in the comics now) and that could lead to him finally getting a movie too.
In the last Avengers movie staring the original cast you can have them each leaving but they want the Avengers to keep going, like in the Earths Mightiest Heroes comic by Busiek and Kollins I think it was....
SPOILER...
Where Thor, Giant Man, Wasp, Iron Man, are leaving. But Cap is staying, and they tell him they are leaving the Avengers in his hands and he will lead the team of Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch, and Quicksilver, as Avengers.
So, in summary, my idea is that the Avengers movies don't have to stop once the original cast's contracts are up. Just fill in the space with other Avengers.
