Marvel is pivoting away from Captain Marvel as the tentpole. At least Brie Larson. She just can't keep her mouth shut. They may bring in Rambeau's daughter and adjust the plots they've written for CM, but Brie is gone. She'll get cameos to fulfill her contract then adios.
Spidey won't be the tentpole either. He's not a leader; he's a loner who occasionally helps out a team.
Dr. Strange won't be the tentpole because, let's face it, that magic shit gets boring.
The New BP won't be the tentpole because it will take time to establish the narrative and we don't know how the actor will handle it.
That leaves...Deadpool. He's not a leader but he can appear in virtually any story with little effort at plot manipulation.
My guess is he'll support the next phase until Marvel can get FF and X-Men off the ground.
And I'm not so sure about Emily Blount and her husband as Sue and Reed. It's going to be at least a 10-year run (look how long RDJ and Jackman were there) and I don't know if they're that committed or young enough. We'll see.
