Some of the muted anticipation on phase two is undoubtedly a byproduct of the conditions of the pandemic which are currently stymieing the entire film industry. The hope is that there will be both breakthroughs and better leadership/guidance regarding the pandemic soon. But as you said, time will tell...

I just wish marvel would stop race and gender changing major characters and use the opportunity to make new ones. Im still waiting for t’challa’s illegitimate white son or the scarlet warlock. I get companies are lazy, unimaginative entities that are just looking for the cheapest and laziest way to make a quick buck off these properties but it doesn’t do much for longevity.

To TRULY expand and incorporate inclusion, new characters MUST be created.....not butchering and bastardizing pre-established characters. That sorta crap is just cheap and lazy.
