Marvel is failing because it's making a crap load of movies and relevant TV shows about a bunch of characters nobody cares about. People aren't going to fill the theaters to see Moon Knight or Miss Marvel. Who even are they?

MCU is done for. They already used Ironman, Captain America, Hulk, Black Widow, Black Panther, and Spider-Man. The rest like Thor, Doctor Strange and Ant-Man are clinging on for dear life with only GoG standing on its feet. The populace is very simple-minded. Marvel was successful because it was about the A-listers. People want to see stuff about the big-time A-listers. And yes, the actors playing them also matter. The intended replacements for the main A-team will never be accepted by the populace. Ever. Captain America, Hulk, Black Widow, Black Panther, Thor, Spider-Man, etc., will always beat out the nobodies every single time.

All they have left is X-Menverse and Fantastic Four. Or maybe try to milk the multiverse even more and bring in Miles Morales

Marvel's A-listers pre-MCU were Spidey and the X-Men and that's it. The Hulk and Fantastic Four were the closest to them, and out of all of these they only had the rights to Hulk. Cap, Iron Man, Black Panther, etc were B-tier. It worked out because the Avengers were a long-running team and they had the rights to the main members, but the MCU would have probably played out very differently if Marvel had access to Spidey and the X-Men from the beginning.
