Disney/Marvel seem to be pretty good about not holding trailers back, especially now that they end up leaking online withing hours of premieres.
[Movies] MCU: Phase 3 And Beyond

Ronda Rousey really wants to play Captain Marvel.
To answer the article's query--her fans getting interested will not lead to casting. This is Disney we're talking about.
It could be a pretty great stunt casting. I don't know if she has the acting chops to play the role, though.
In other news, the preview of Captain America: Civil War at D23 seems extremely promising.

Stark has some good lines showing his POV, leading to the conflict between the groups: "What would you call a group of enhanced individuals who inflict their will anywhere they choose?" "We have no boundaries. We're no better than the bad guys." -- Clearly Stark is saying that a group like The Avengers is too dangerous to be without oversight or restraint - basically, he's pointing out that the only thing holding them back from being villains is their own morality, and maybe that's not such a good thing. That's a completely legitimate point, and helps center the conflict on "two conflicting visions of Good" and avoiding the Idiot Ball / Villain Ball of the comics (drafting villains, setting up concentration camps for non-compliants, registering people more or less at gunpoint, creating killer robot clones of your allies...)

Don't worry, he'll be Hitler by the second act.

Related to Marvel in general rather than the MCU. It turns out there was a Marvel cookbook released in 1977. Why does no one tell me these things?!

Here is an interesting bit of news about Marvel's upcoming releases. The story only has a single source, so take it with a grain of salt.
Den of Geek is reporting that one of the 2020 Marvel releases will be The Fantastic Four. The studio would recover the rights to the FF as well as important parts of the FF canon -- Dr. Doom, the Silver Surfer, Galactus -- as part of the recently announced deal that allowed Fox to plan two new TV shows based on the X-Men.

After the horrible clusterfuck that was the last Fantastic Four movie, Fox would be smart to try and give back the rights to the franchise that keeps flopping for them in order to get more freedoms with the franchise that makes them all the money.
Update: Nope. :/

We were THIS close to getting a potentially proper Dr. Doom and Galactus.

Next time, Richards... next time.
It has now been confirmed that Hulk will be turning up in Thor: Ragnarok.

I don't see how they would do it live action, there's really no point either, unless they gave Banner a much bigger role. Although considering movie Hulk has always been dumb Hulk, with no variation the movie would have to change a lot anyway.
That would explain why a Thor movie has become Planet Hulk: Beta Ray Bill doesn't exist in the MCU so it would be weird for another alien to have Thor's powers.
I was like "That's isn't Dr. Strange!" but then I realized this is likely his post accident, pre-magic phase, which makes sense he would look like an hobo.
ANT-MAN WAS GOOD AS HELL

As of five hours ago, they were still talking about casting. It looks like it's still happening.

It looks like they're replacing the iron fist series with a Punisher series.
That's such a bittersweet thought because I'd love a Punisher series but I'd REALLY like an Iron Fist one too. Especially after Madam Gao in Daredevil.

It's okay! They're thinking of making Iron Fist a straight-to-Netflix movie instead of a series. Which, I imagine, would be how to fit a concept like that into a budget. Better to do a 2-hour movie rather than spread out the cost to 12-13 episodes.

True. I just want a Heroes for Hire series.
If they based it off the Greg Rucka run I could see it working. Where he's basically a presence, like a slasher movie killer, and you follow the people around him.
I want a Punisher series with Show Runner and every-episode-director Lexi Alexander
