We know the upcoming Black Widow movie is a prequel focusing about Natasha's past but I expect the post credit scene of that movie to be about her revival.
How would you plan the next 10 years of the MCU? (Endgame Spoilers)

I can see that. Rather than waiting for 4 or 5+ Spidey movies I think you could introduce at least half of the team in one movie.
I'd be genuinely surprised if we went 20+ more movies without at least a Squirrel Girl cameo.
Do a Midnight Sons movie (or film series potentially) starring Dr. Strange, Ghost Rider, Blade, Punisher, and Morbius (if the movie turns out alright). Spin off into Blade and Ghost Rider movies.
Then Fantastic Four series, Doom, and X-Men films focused on lesser known characters or characters that got the shaft like Jubilee and Shadow Cat.

Endgame is peak superhero movie as a genre. It could be decades before anything comes even remotely close, if ever.
Marvel/Fergie need to organically establish a new summit to climb over the next 10 years. The Avengers/Thanos story arc was done exceptionally well and sets such a high bar. But if anything, MCU is still in good hands.
Personally I'd like to see the focus on establishing X-Men within the MCU, at least 1 film per year from 2022. If they nail X-Men with great casting and intriguing story lines there's plenty of potential left in an expanded MCU.

Cómic book gurus, am I wrong in thinking that X-MEN would completely ruin the MCU?
X-men isn't just a having a team of hero's, it's changing the entire world these movies exist in to have an entire advanced race of humans running around or being persecuted.
How do you introduce this slowly?
Do you just say fuck it and say the X-men were there the whole time? These random super powered folk that existed all around the earth?
Also, we are getting further and further from WW2, how do you have a good magneto if he's old as fuck
I'm basing all my knowledge off the movies.

Don't forget, Marvel already has a 5 year plan and it doesn't include the X-Men or F4.

I have been thinking about that too. X-men universe is pretty large and it would be awkward to introduce them in the same MCU and say that they have always been there. Unless they introduce them in an alternate timeline. In that timeline, Captain America and iron Man might still exit.
Homecoming set them up
they got Vulture, and another villain was Mac Gargan (Scorpion) - who wants to get revenge on Spider-man for putting him in prison. They'd be added Mystery after FFH.
Endgames main theme revolves around time travel and that marries quite well into the X-Men story arcs as there is a lot of time travel elements already established in that IP. Difficult for sure but doable.
The foundation is already set with Endgame but Marvel would need to jump on the time travel aspect really quickly, maybe with some post credit scenes for the time being...? Some liberties will definitely need to be taken.
There's already a massive glut of characters in the MCU. This is part of why I was really hoping Endgame would clear the deck more than it did, but instead we still have to save slot for a bunch of old characters.
As long as the next leg has Galactus as the big bad guy, and features Ms. Marvel and Squirrel Girl, then I'm pretty satisfied. I want Squirrel Girl to be booked as strong as Captain Marvel was in Endgame.

Man, they have so many characters available now, the sky's the limit. They've got enough material for twenty more years without rebooting anything. The main thing I would do is delay any big crossover until people are hungry for it again, since the IW+EG combination was a conclusion of epic proportions and people might be spent after it.
Bear with me here... but I think Black Widow in Endgame was a Skrull.
Phase 4 - Secret Invasion
Phase 5 - Dark Reign
Phase 6 - Secret Wars
Get as many Peter Parker Spider-Man stories adapted over these three phases as humanly possible. Also, Doctor Doom should be built up as a threat even more menacing than Thanos, but not exclusively via the Fantastic Four... Black Panther should be heavily involved in some of the Doom stuff, and playing Namor off of both T'Challa and Doom over the course of the decade would be great.
Also, over the course of all of these phases, make a Secret Warriors film, a SHIELD (Hickman) film, a Fantastic Four trilogy (third part being Galactus/Surfer), and end phase six with a multi-film Secret Wars arc, replace Peter with Miles Morales by the end of Secret Wars. I know people want to see Miles sooner than later but we're only a few years into an incredible young Peter Parker run and I'm just not ready to see that come to and end without a lot of Spider-Man classics being adapted first.
Also, X-Men stuff through Phase 5 and Phase 6, but none of the stuff Fox adapted. Introduce Magneto as a threat but for the love of fuck don't focus on him in every movie. How about:
Film 1: Original team, origin stuff, end with Giant-Sized X-Men stuff.
Film 2: Cooler weirder X-Men stuff. More Savage Land, perhaps. Or X-Men in space. Whatever happens, introduce Gateway no later than film #2.
Film 3: The Uncanny X-Men in MOJOWORLD.
The X-Men films should be the craziest, most insanely fun things ever. They see dinosaurs regularly, go into space regularly, and semi-regularly go to a dimension where reality programming ratings are lifeblood... these are the adventures I want to see.
Anyway, that's what I'd do if I were in charge.

And knowing Feige they probably had one that included them. But as this interview was pre endgame releasing he wasn't going to say anything concrete and never does.
F4 I can see sidelining for now. But I'd bet we'll see an X - Man character probably Wolverine in an MCU movie within the next two years.
Same as 'villains' Marvel sitting on as character like Dr Doom for 5 years? Yeah no haha
Except in Civil War, before his suit and powers were upgraded in Black Panther, he fought Cap, Bucky, and Falcon to a standstill...
Unfortunately, this doesn't seem likely. Marvel Studios gave Marvel Television the okay to use Squirrel Girl in a New Warriors show, which means they likely don't have a plan to use her in the movies. I HOPE this has changed, because she's one of my favorite characters.
I kinda want the third Spidey film to adapt the Ultimate (Sinister) Six storyline. Would be similar to Civil War, but with more villains, and end with Spider-man in a position of leadership within the (Young?) Avengers, and since it would feature Osborne, it could even lead to a Dark Avengers film.

I would do a full on reboot as the Marvel Ultimate Cinematic Universe. That would let them use the X-Men and Fantastic Four without trying to shoehorn them into the series 30 movies in. I would bring back anyone still under contract so they can do the new versions of their characters in the new series, but I wouldn't make any more movies in the current universe. Endgame was the perfect ending for the MCU.
Next big bad will be the Beyond Corporation.

More or less. I'm still fucking dumbfounded on how Marvel even allowed their Netflix IPs to be held hostage like this.
Is this accurate?
You would think Disney/Marvel are smart enough to not let like shit like this happen again to their own properties.
