Who said it's going away? I said the market is simply becoming niche and it's a shrinking consumer base.

The old Captain America movies had no budget and were made a long time ago. Where as the past Fantastic 4 films were made alot more recently and had budgets well over 100 million yet they still couldn't make it work.

Lol. It wasn't about the armor. It was about RDJ being damn entertaining. Look at the 50/50 split of genders for MCU films and wide demographic breakdowns. His charm and charisma won over the general public and made Marvel a '4th Quadrant' tentpole franchise.
As far as the F4, you shouldn't underestimate Feige. His track record is incredible. He's made everything work, from talking trees and raccoons, to a full Black cast, to Brie Larson. This ain't WB/DC. He's proven he knows what he's doing. The chances of F4 being another massive MCU hit are high.
Heck, Feige even personally selected Chloe Zhao, long before she was Oscar buzzworthy.
The films will continue to do great. The potential downfall of the action figures won't really have an impact on anything, because the audience has grown much, much larger than those who collect toys.
