The MCC aren't over the movies anymore but they still have some say with the tv shows. Civil War or Dr. Strange should be the last movies they had involvment with.

Interesting thought.

Also at least in the case of the Netflix shows I'm wondering if it's the level of content. A few video game people have said Marvel and Disney asked them not to include Daredevil or Jessica Jones because they didn't want kids associating those people with the Avengers and then watching their shows thinking it'll be the same deal, and I'm wondering if that might extend to the toys as well.
