I doubt the Thor and Cap stuff has anything to do with the films. As Flint-Marko said, they've made it clear they'd just go the route of recasting if the actors leave. They said the same thing when it looked like RDJ might step down from the role; they've said from the beginning that recasting is their preferred option. If they do go the legacy route with anyone, its fairly likely it'd be Bucky!Cap, given that everyone's been talking about the option of Bucky taking the shield. Falcon!Cap and Woman!Thor are very obviously a temporary move, just like killing off Wolverine.

Hell, even the suit is a pretty far-fetched idea. Given that there's only a few similarities (mostly the chest and shoulder padding), but a lot of other differences (film suit has fingerless gloves instead of techy armoured ones and exposed ears on the helmet). It looks more like the suit was inspired by what he wore in the first film, rather than it being what they had planned for A2 (especially since, if they were really going to do that, it'd be far more accurate, and would have made an appearance in Cap 2 rather than Avengers 2). Note that even now, Tony's not set to wear his black and gold outfit, while Hawkeye's comic outfit is completely different, save for asthetics, from his film outfit (though, I would really like if they did give him that outfit in the film, if just to get some actual purple on him).

It needs to be stressed, but the film executives DO NOT control the comics; the comics are controlled by their respective creative teams and editors, who while they're liable to take inspiration from the films, they're not directly tied to their production and aren't going to do things to 'test the waters' for the films to try out, since not only are the audiences completely different, but its not even a good pool to base your perspective audience on. If comic audiences were anything to go by, Iron Man 3 would have been a flop because of the Mandarin twist, but its the second most successful superhero film of all time.
