I believe Feige said at some point that if it comes to it, they might recast certain well known character in case they are unable to renew contracts. I don't expect all actors to do that, especially not after 8 years of doing this.

They really better not recast. I will drop the MCU so hard and fast if they do. Cripple him, kill him, replace him with Sam or Bucky but don't recast Chris Evans. (I mean, ideally he gets to live in the forest, being a cute little hermit and enjoying some peace.) They've recast before, not just small examples like Fandral and the cameo appearance of Thanos, but also big ones like Rhodey Rhodes and the Hulk. Although the last two they were lucky with, since Rhodey in 'Iron Man 1' didn't really get to shine or be memorable in my opinion, in order to make him being replaced by Don Cheadle noticeable, and most people still haven't seen 'The Incredible Hulk' to know Edward Norton used to play Bruce Banner.

I don't keep track of contracts getting renewed or expired for actors to know how many times that have happened, but apparently RDJ's conracts has expired a total of 3-4 times, before getting renewed. And for his role in 'Spider-Man: Homecoming', they made a deal to where he could get paid for it but not count towards the total of movies in his contracts. Hopefully something like that can happen in future roles for the actors.
