In the same way they are printing new comic books, no probably not.
But they are also writing the same way they still write comic books. End Game sealed the deal -- there's no smart ending they're building to, just the beginning of the next serialized story arc. You are free! No need to pay attention anymore.
i've heard a few guy actors say "doing a marvel movie" is basically a way to get paid to get cut--but not being allowed to have any fun with your friends for months at a time to stay cut of course--while also pocketing some stacks, potentially with a recurring role/franchise. it also creates the opportunity to cross genres. like, nobody was going to cast chris pratt from parks and rec as an action guy. now he can be in all the reactionary special ops movies he wants. same with jim from the office.
a lot of actors, even big ones, seem more than happy to do something commercially successful, if not critically acclaimed, so they can take a chance on some indie art house thing down the road, especially if it's something that needs financing. i read this interesting interview with viggo mortensen about how he basically hit the jackpot with the LOTR movies, as it meant he could be very picky and choose a lot of borderline arthouse flicks for the rest of his career. i mean, look at how many huge ass names are in the MCU. i remember when michael douglas got in the mix with ant man, it was like, "this is a gravy train."
look at this:

This also means that they'll keep doing the tedious continuity reboot stories from the comics, because it gives them an excuse to have the same characters with new actors, to replace the actors that got famous enough to go do real movies.
Yes the MCU has less room for creativity. When you're writing 1 out of a 100 titles being released per week you have to do do dumb shit to stand out. A hundred million dollar production has to play it as safe as possible.

comic books cost basically nothing to print though a major motion picture is a significant investment
they may run out of willing big-name actors before audiences get board
yeah by all accounts acting in MCU slop isn't a very artistically interesting gig. They'll probably start using less famous actors
countdown to stavros halkias entering MCU
i heard he's the lock of the century for John Wick 6.

Nah, because these movies are how you get to be a big name actor in the first place, and they're steady work that pays well.
Actors will do this slop to get the big bucks and then do more interesting movies when they can/after they get off the ride.
This also means that they'll keep doing the tedious continuity reboot stories from the comics, because it gives them an excuse to have the same characters with new actors, to replace the actors that got famous enough to go do real movies.
