My theory is that he will direct Captain Marvel instead, since he is pro portraying powerful women,etc.
Makes sense to me.

Your referring to personal taste not quality.I love doctor horrible, but it's not better than the Avengers.
Avengers is amazing, but not Whedon's best work.
I think, in terms of writing and directing quality, Whedon's single best work is Firefly episode "Objects in Space". Simply brilliant.
So Russo Brothers have signed some 3 year contract with Sony. I guess there's still a chance they'll be taking on the new Spider-Man franchise. (His first appearance will likely be in Civil War a movie they're directing anyway).
I'd personally be really happy with Russo bros or Drew Goddard. Although my personal top choice would be Mathew Vaughn. But he's not even rumored and seems to be working mostly for Fox.
Seems like they're sticking with Peter Parker for now (Thank Goodness):

F*cking stupid. Da phuck we need a 3rd Peter Parker for?
Keep Garfield around then. His character's developed the angst and pathos that would help sell the internal struggle that Civil War will surely dip into. Last thing we need is another origin.
It's be like Warner Bro's recasting Superman for the Dawn of Justice movie.
^ I really don't want Civil War to suffer because Marvel doesn't have the patience to bring in Spider-Man organically into their MCU. But I can't see it bring avoided now that we have to go through a new Peter Parker introduction. Again.
We had Downey Jr. already. Didn't need Spider-Man, a movie character with significant cinema fatigue to slow down the plot and pace of the movie. I hate this. I wanted Wolverien and mutants alongside Avengers so we could get "AvX." Now we're in danger of getting "Spidey and Friends."

I don't mind them transition to Miles a few years down the line, or do a Miles spin off or else world or something. But my excitement for Spider-Man coming to the MCU would suddenly drop by like 80% if I found out Peter Parker was a casualty of that move.
I want to see Parker with the Avengers first, then I don't mind them changing things up and experimenting later. Maybe they will do a whole thing later down the line where Rhodey is IM and Miles is Spider-Man. Wouldn't mind that at all.
But yeah no origin story please. In fact if they gave us Miles Morales now, they would HAVE TO give us another origin story, because nobody knows how Miles got his powers and why he fights crime, and why he calls himself Spider-Man.

That was never really an option tbh.

Either way, they have to waste time in a Captain America vs Iron Man movie establishing it's the same Peter Parker by revisiting his ASM history or they have to wholly re-establish his different origin (again) to dispel any confusion as to whether he might be the ASM Peter Parker.

And why do they need to waste time reintroducing the same character for the third time in 8 years? If you're going to waste time introducing a character it might be as well be for some character we've never seen before.
There's something I'm a fan of in movies: when a single scene serves several different purposes in advancing the plot.
Example: Boromir picking up the One Ring when Frodo drops it on Carathas Mountain. That single scene foreshadows Boromir's betrayal, demonstrates Aragorn's distrust, reinforces Frodo's vulnerability and importance as the one and only Ringbearer, illustrates the powerful influence of the One Ring, and displays a pretty fantastic mountain landscape that draws you into the world.
Now the opposite for me is also true: I despise scenes that serve no purpose but retreading old plot lines. Needlessly. Captain America: Civil War isn't about Spider-Man, ffs. Don't slow down that movie's plot and waste needless scenes on a 3rd Peer Parker Spider-Man.
They should just make a Spider-Man/Hulk movie if they really wanted to use Peter Parker so bad.
Actually I think we might not get any of the Spidey origin in Cap 3. I can see a little cheeky introduction scene where we really get to know the personality of the new Parker(because everyone knows his story by now) hopefully they save the "origin" for a quick opening sequence in the Sony made movie similar to how the Incredible Hulk did it.
