Phase 4 is too much. I can't imagine the MCU going on after Avengers 3. Assuming the distance between the first two Avengers films is the same between the second two, The Avengers 3 would be coming out in 2018, ten years after the original Iron Man. Actually, if it comes out on the first Friday of May that year, it would be coming out exactly 10 years after Iron Man to the day. Wrap it up, focus on something else (like a different MCU), and reboot/revive the whole thing a decade or so later.

And characters like Daredevil wouldn't really fit because they're a huge step down from what we have now. Daredevil's crusade against the Kingpin is a p***ing contest compared to the stuff the MCU heroes are going up against.
