Potentially has a legally safe move depending on the details of the final deal, the (potentially final) FoX-Men move will NOT have 'X-Men' in the title. Instead going by Dark Phoenix, with the X emphasized in the logo ("Dark Phoeni(x)").
There is a POSSIBILITY that some remnants of FoX-Men other than Deadpool can still continue on, with only certain characters actually being integrated into the MCU (if the deal goes as planned, and even then after 2019-20 at the earliest since Phase 4 is pretty much set).
Spidey's sub-series is being speculated to build up the Sinister Six - who may get a push as big MCU baddies rather than strictly being a Spidey problem. At least ONE source in the wild believes Spidey's corner of the MCU wipl grow as its own sandbox (like the Guardians going more cosmic in Vol3). While I've only seen one ditzy source say this, other regular (and frankly reliable) sources all agree Jessica fucking Drew the Spider-Woman will be introduced in Spidey 2. If this is the case along with the potential for Miles and Gwen (European now) - that one source may be on to something. The current approach to female characters will likely not have Gwen waiting to fall to her death, instead opting for the Spider-Gwen or even Gwenpool inspired versions of the character. The last parts about Gwen is my personal speculation, tho.
On Jessica Drew; word is she'll be her highly deadly agent self. I wonder if she'll be a SHIELD alum. Also basically every source agrees that Mysterio is almost certainly the villain - who's working for a "surprise" baddie. If it's a Sinister Six thing (Oct or Electro), that wouldn't be a surprise at all... though it fits with that one beat about the villain team building up.
But this is taking place in Europe (at least in part), and what villain is across the Atlantic that would make us lose our shit..?
Anyway this next phase is the first with neither Cap, Iron Man, or Thor movie. That's not to say it won't happen.
On the TV front Daredevil S3 wrapped, Punisher S2 is filming now, Luck Cage is coming next, and wouldn't you know - Kristen Ritter ALSO thinks Jones was a drag and wants her to lighten up. Seems some of us weren't crazy after all.
Agents of SHIELD, by the grace of god, lives on for a 6th season. It'll be a mini-season has officially reported and will premier nearly a year from NOW rather than the Fall. Word is they kinda have to address not only their finale, but the Snappening as well.
Kevin Fiege and the Russos have IN FACT seriously considered Luke Cage lending a hand in the New York battle in Infinity War. But a short cameo wouldn't satisfy fans (their words) nor do they want the general audience to feel like the Netflix heroes are requisite viewing.
The Silver Sable/Black Cat movie is shelved for now. Sony wants to rewrite it. I'm gonna call it canceled.
