See, I'm kinda torn on this. On the one hand, I get them setting up Captain Marvel as a big deal in their movie-verse. But on the other hand, her just swooping in to save everyone would be pretty wack to me from a storytelling perspective. Not to mention, I have no idea how she would just "save" them, anyway.
I think they plan on re-vamping the Avenger lineup, so after Avengers 4 Thor may take off to re-establish Asgard. This will leave a power gap in the line up that I think they're setting Captain Marvel up to fill. Same with Captain America, he might be leaving too but I really dont think they will kill these characters off, just let them do guest shots in other films.
I love the way the MCU is setting up to have cross-overs throughout their universe. Just like they do with the books.

Oh, yeah. I'm pretty sure that's what they'll do. They need to settle the Big 3 (Cap, Thor, Iron Man) out of the spotlight if for no other reason than to possibly recast them. But they'll probably just leave them on the back burner for a while. They definitely have plenty of other heroes to play with.
Heck, they could shelve the Avengers entirely and focus on other teams for a while. That might be pushing it, but it's completely plausible.
