Take Doctor Strange 2. It exists solely to introduce Captain Two Moms so they can set up her movie(s) or whatever they have planned there for her. There is no character arc for Doctor Strange in it whatsoever.
Look at Thor 4. There's barely anything for Thor himself in it, as it mostly exists to showcase the female Thor, and then give Thor a daughter at the end of it for an encore.
Ant-Man 3. It's mostly there to showcase Cassie stepping into the suit and learning the ropes.
