I was really hoping that once Avengers was done, Marvel Studios would use the same template and use other characters in solo films and build them to a team film.
Avengers started in 2008 and concluded in 2012. It had a beginning and end, the characters built up and met together for a big battle. The End. Avengers 2 is a good idea as it continues their story, but i don't see the point in more solo films when they could be using those film slots for new characters to have their own seperate team.
I was hoping to see street level heroes gets some attention. I get that The Avengers made a **** ton of money, and because of that it means more and more and more to come, they'll introduce some new characters here and there but it'll mostly be the team we already have seen before.
Guardians looks to be the only real new film from Marvel Studios, and that's gonna be just another tie in to enrich Avengers 2
I like The Avengers and their characters and i love how Marvel brought it all together with each character getting solo films and then building to the team-up, it worked brilliantly, but i also like lots of others and it doesn't look like they'll be getting any of that same treatment anytime soon which is a damn shame as they have plenty of great characters to exploit in films not directly tied to what has been done but tied to a new chapter of the continuity exoanding it into a world of different characters.
I think a New Avengers film built up with solo films would be brilliant. Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Moon Knight and other never before on-screen lead characters would be great to see on-film.
People seem to say something like 'i'd love to see ______ character on the big screen
with the Avengers' and that may make no sense as it's a completely different level of hero, it seems because they were done first, The Avengers have become the center of everything Marvel Films to which all other characters are to stand next to
That's a small part of why i like that Marvel don't hold the rights to Spider-Man and X-Men as it means they'll actually get their own films made (Marvel is swamped with Avengers 2 tie-ins) and they'll get their own universe of characters and stories told without them being tie-ins to the Avengers characters.

I think my ideal Marvel movies system would be the same continuity overall but independent films for each group of characters with occasional interaction between them...
Spider-Man would get his universe of characters and have their own films.
X-Men would get their own universe of characters and have their own films.
Avengers would have sequels with their own universe of characters.
Fantastic Four would have their own universe of characters and own films.
Cosmic characters would have their own universe of character and own films.
And then when applicable to the story have Spidey help out the FF, have Beast assist The Avengers, have Iron Fist train Spider-Man some kung Fu, Luke Cage have a beer with Logan and so on
