Loki and Vision are certainly dead for good though, although there is potential to chase an alternate timeline movie for Loki with the Tesseract but idk... a multiverse MCU with multiple parallel universes seems to work better for comics rather than movies
They announced Vision and Scarlet Witch are getting their own tv show. Even the Vision is confused. Alongside the Loki tv show Shine mentioned.
Spin offs for the dead guys!

Disney+ did announced a series of alternate Loki doing his adventures throughout the universe. I wonder he'll be a key factor in Doctor Strange 2 :think:
Endgame has pretty much set the standard. I wonder if the next crossover event will surpassed this one?
I don't know if Loki will be a part of Doctor Strange 2 considering that Wanda and Vision is apparently building up to said movie. It's possible, though.
The next crossover event will be difficult to surpass this one. For one, a decade of movies, a story line eleven years long, and character deaths that took the finale from merely "awesome" to "amazing." Infinity War and Endgame would not be as memorable without the deaths of Loki, Vision, Peter Parker, Thanos, Iron Man, Captain America, and Thanos. Real, lasting impact is what made it so poignant.

I have high expectations for Thor and the Guardians of the Galaxy storyline...
I saw some fans say it was a bit disappointing the way they kind of un-did Thor's development in Ragnarok overtime with IW and EG, but in all fairness I feel like it's necessary to have at least one hero end up like he did in the 5-year gap. Poor dude basically collapsed himself in a pit of depression because all the failure culminated into making him think he's completely worthless: his brother was strangled in front of him right after facing their evil sister, dozens of Asgardians died, he watched almost all his friends disintegrate and the other 4 billion people on Earth went with them; all because he simply used his opportunity 'incorrectly' and couldn't kill Grimace the Mad Titan the first time. And clearly, beheading him 5 years later in some random space hut didn't make him feel any better about it because at that moment they thought there was no possibility of reversing everything now that their timeline's stones were gone.
But the movie tied off basically every loose end that needed to be ended before seeking a different direction with the MCU. Not really sure how they can top off their own thing... how much of a grander scale can we go after IW and Endgame!? lol
If you read the comics, don't tell me because that's no fun
I am highly excited for Guardians 3.
Thor's character development wasn't really undone. I haven't heard anyone say that myself, but looking at it. Is Thor the same as he was in previous movies? Only if you deliberately wrongly characterize him. In Thor 1 / Avengers 1 he's brash, overly self-confident, speaks in an old timey accent and words, and all too self assured of his own power and all of his traits stem from that overwhelming amount of power. In Endgame, he's brash, overly self-confident, speaks in an old timey accent and words, and all too self assured of his own power. Except all of those traits come from the fact he completely broke down from his depression and the absolute loss he suffered at the hands of Thanos. No one took it as personally as Thor did. Why did Thor offer to use the Iron Gauntlet as "the strongest Avenger?" Because he's trying to act like his old, overconfident self in an attempt to cope with the immense grief he has, rather than truly believing he's capable of withstanding the power of the Infinity Stones.
So he's back to his old self, but only as a hollow mockery in trying to conceal how he really is after losing basically everything. So, he wasn't reset to an earlier version of his character. Next question is, was his character development undone? He kept all of the lessons he learned from Thor 3: Ragnarok. He didn't forget that. He remembered to think, to fight smart, and to be truly confident in himself rather than his power and weapons. Other Avengers make fat jokes about him? He simply doesn't care, he doesn't let other people affect him like that. In Thor 1, he went and fought a war and got banished entirely because he wanted to be awesome through bloodshed like his dad. In Endgame, he doesn't even acknowledge the jokes people make about him. In Thor 2 and 3, he refuses to take the throne not only because he doesn't believe he's worthy of it, but because he wants to be better than a king could be because of the awful decisions and reliability they need. in Endgame, he leaves the throne in the hands of Valkyrie specifically because she's not only better qualified, but also because she has truly been their leader while he's been gone. That's something he really learned in Thor 2, and reinforced in Thor 3.
So no, Thor's character development hasn't been undone one bit.
Lastly, nothing could surpass Infinity War and Endgame.
