I think with Thor being removed from the Earth and the Bifröst presumably yet to be repaired. Thor will pretty much be stuck on Asgard. As I imagine they won't want to use the Tesseract too much. I think all of them could just state they're all off doing their own thing. For IM3, Stark might be cut-off somewhat from the rest of the world. As that's what the Fagin has suggested. I agree, the Avengers has raised the bar way above chin-level and so each film will have to deliver upon the promise now fulfilled by the Avengers. I personally think they'll initially feel like an anti-climax, but with the right crew and story they can make an enaging solo film for each character.
Well after the success of IM, it seems Robert Downey Junior's agents managed to secure him a lucrative deal for each appearance he made as Stark/Iron Man. I think he takes a certain cut of the profit hence why he's purportedly received a staggering amount of quidage for the Avengers. Still, despite Marvel's shrewdness in the past in dealing with actors's demands and salaries. I think they'll want to keep Downey Jnr on and they'll probably be willing to make certains amends.
Hall isn't an actress who I'm excited to see in a film. Unfortunately in the previous IM film, they cast Mickey "Irish" Rourke and he's not one to tickle my taste buds. But we'll see...it's early days but then they'll be commencing filming in the next few weeks so I don't think they're going to waste too much time. I think Shane Black's addition to the film is a welcome move. Unfortunately the previous film didn't quite work and whilst it didn't seem to be all of Jon Favreau's fault, I wouldn't be surprised if he managed to get himself an expanded role in that one. Which I thought was extraneous and hopefully such an excess and indulgence won't be in this film. I really do like the idea of the Mandarin and I think it's about time the Ten Rings made a full appearance in an IM film.
I agree, I think concentrating more on Asgard and the other realms is the way to go. Really we haven't seen much of Thor's world and perhaps we can deal with threats to the realm, that hitherto haven't been mentioned? I actually think there's huge potential here. Since Thor is the one who stands out the most in terms of the Avengers. He comes from a word and a life so different to them. And you can indulge things such as dwarves, fire demons and the like without it feeling out of place. I think this would be a good way of differentiating itself from the first film whilst also expanding upon Thor's mythology and introducing new elements and characters. Perhaps a story element in Hela's realm could work?
I agree on CA being one of the weakest. I think it surpasses TIH though. Winter Soldier is Bucky Barnes right? Do you think they could bring him back in a believable way? As he was seen falling a great height and it's unlikely that something/someone would've saved him. I guess they could use a different character but that wouldn't be faithful to the source material and it would remove an element of conflict for Rogers. I think someone along the lines of Diamondback would be more interesting. Because again you have that element of conflict and you want someone who can stand up to Cap as it were.
I think that's a good idea about letting the individual films being their own entities without having to majorly refefence the Avengers. Perhaps mild allusions would work but nothing too 'on the nose' (a bit of a favourite phrase here [;)]) because as IM2 showed. If you crowbar too many characters and references in, you compromise the story a little and the films suffers.
There is room for the Hulk to have his own film. He could feature in one of the solo films. I think he'd fit into Thor 2 actually. I watched the Hulk Vs animated feature, well only the one with Thor. And it has an interesting story about Loki's manipulation of Hulk and how he goes on a big rampage in Asgard. They could go that route, although I suspect it would feel a little bit 'Avengers-lite' and possibly take the focus away from Thor. There's also the matter of Black Widow and Hawkeye. I think they would fit in most comfortably with Cap. Out of all the Avengers, he's the one they're most similar to and it could deal with a re-emerging HYDRA or AIM.

Id actually like them to hold off an an Avengers sequel for a few years and do a solo S.H.I.E.L.D. instead.I think Jackson, Johanssen, and Renner are more than capable of a carrying a film like that and they could throw Don Cheadles War Machine in there as well.
That would be over doing it. There's already three solo films planned and of course an Avengers sequel. They could instead opt for the comics/graphic novel route with SHIELD.
