“We’ve been lucky that [contract expirations] haven’t factored in too much. We’ve had people under contract for certain films, then we’ve had new ideas and new directions like Civil War like we wanted to do, and we’ve been lucky enough to make new contracts. Or Spider-Man: Homecoming, the cast has been awesome in their enthusiasm for the direction and the storylines that we’ve been telling. So it really does, right now, all start with where we wanna take the stories. Certainly as we get to Infinity War there is a sense of a climax if not a conclusion to, by the time we’re at untitled Avengers 4, the 22 movies that will have encompassed the first three phases of the MCU, and what happens after that will be very different. I don’t know if it’s Phase 4, it might be a new thing.”
It makes sense to start fresh with a whole new group of Marvel superheroes, they seem to be working in trilogies, whether it's with individual movie titles, or (now) their cinematic "Phases." The only movie that may fall outside of Marvel's "Phase 3" that is in the works will be Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3, which has been announced, but a release date hasn't been confirmed. This really shouldn't affect anything as far as "Phase 3" goes, because while the Guardian movies take place in the MCU, they've always been more of a stand-alone story. That will all change with Avengers: Infinity War, which will bring all of the Marvel superheroes together in one epic battle against (presumably) Thanos, and then again in Avengers 4. However, the Guardians adventures in space can be said to be separate from everyone else's in the MCU.
By the way, Feige said that the reason that they haven't released the title of Avengers 4 is because it would be too much of a spoiler reveal. Think Captain America: Civil War. Here's a list of the rest of the "Phase 3" movies that Marvel has scheduled for release:
