It sounds like Spider-Man: Far From Home could be Stan’s final MCU cameo.
The Disney-Fox Merger is set to close on March 20, 2019. This means that Marvel will have the rights to the X-Men and Fantastic Four characters. It’s exciting to think about how these characters will show up in the MCU. However, there is a downside to the merger as at least 7,500 people are expected to be laid off in the process.
Nobody saw it coming when Marvel decided to release the second trailer for Avengers: Endgame. A new poster was also released. You can check both out below:

Variety reported that Sony has the next 7-8 years planned for Spider-Man projects in both film and television. They are planning their own Marvel Universe called Sony’s Universe of Marvel Characters including shows that will crossover with each other. Projects are said to be ‘out soon’ and something ‘really, really big’ is being planned.
Slashfilm reported that Marvel is developing an animated anthology series for Disney+ called What If? It’ll be based on the comic series of the same name. The series wouldn’t be considered MCU canon and explore alternative scenarios to how events in the MCU happened. One of the episodes will be based on What If ? Vol. 1 #47, and explore the scenario: “What would happen if Loki had found the Hammer of Thor?” Actors from the MCU could potentially reprise their roles in the series.
