Eventually they will in some form. RDJ won't be the last actor to play Tony Stark. Chris Evans won't be the last actor to play Steve Rogers. Tom Holland won't be the last actor to play Peter Parker.
Yes
No
I am good with both a reboot and a continuation of the current series

They will eventually, that's just kinda inevitable.
Rest in Peace mom, we love you and still miss you.

Eventually, of course. I think the question was about doing it now, which makes no sense to me given the current successful results and the depth of untold stories.
They can probably keep this going for twenty years.
Part of it is they're able to swap out characters. Tony Stark gives way to Dr Strange. Thor was supposed to give way to Black Panther. Captain America gives way to Captain Marvel and to another Cap.
Marvel Comics has tried that, but it just hadn't worked. You don't know beforehand if a new sets of characters will be the New X-Men or the New Universe. The films can pick and choose, which is especially important when it takes a while to crystalize a character's appeal. It took a generation before Silver Surfer was able to explore the cosmos. It took a while to realize Carol Danvers should be Captain Marvel, or that Black Panther should have a sister.
I don't think they can keep this going forever. Eventually they'll run out of A-listers.
But it's a good thing if it takes as long to get a new Tony Stark as it did to get a new Mary Poppins.
Sincerely,

Very similar to what I said. The movies can avoid what some see as the strengths of the comics but that I (perhaps from a perspective of 50+ years) see as the weaknesses, and that is, the endless repetition and facelifts to the same characters. But a Tony Stark who genuinely has a life story and an ending to that story matters. For me, comic Tony Stark just sort of faded away as do all comic characters.
Power with Girl is better.
Why would they reboot? They have already set up or are in the process of establishing legacy characters for the original Avengers, and the ones so far have been fairly well-received (yelena, Kate bishop.. with sam wilson cap being the only really controversial legacy character thus far). Hemsworth and Ruffalo seem up for more anyhow. And obviously there will be some character who picks up BP's mantle as well. And MoM is doing great at the box office.
By the time they get thru trilogies with the new characters, the de-aging/face swapping cgi they used on Downey in Civil War and for Luke in Mando may have advanced to the point where its feasible to bring back some of the original characters for more, even if the actors are older and not up for doing as many stunts etc. But even if not, as long as they can make new characters people find compelling, i don't think they have any worries. I do think Eternals flopped in this respect, not many of those characters are ones i really feel compelled to know more about. Unfortunately MoM could have done a better job with wanting viewers to see more of America Chavez, imo, although the movie didn't really hurt the character either. I do think marvel did a nice job with Shang-Chi, would definitely like to see more of all three main characters.
The only argument for rebooting is really "i never liked the mcu in the 1st place". nothing wrong with not liking mcu but i don't see any reason why they would reboot at this time.
Agreed with what many have said - they don't need to call it a reboot, they can change actors/character histories and personalities without that much worries. The MCU is its own thing that doesn't need to play by established film rules.
