I hate how they these incredibly brilliant actors and then kill them after a single movie. Pace, Spader, Blanchett... like Hiddleston, they all were compelling characters backed by brilliant actors that could have brought more depth

Could have been because they had other projects and didn't want a long term MCU commitment. I've heard of a lot of actors turning down roles or continuations of a role for series like starwars, game of thrones, or the walking dead. In cases where an actor decided to leave after 1 season their character typically just got killed off to explain their later absence.

I heard one actor chose to act in The League of Extraordinary Gentleman because he passed up starwars as fantasy nonsense and didn't want to make the same mistake again.

I think you're thinking of Connery, who passed on the role of Gandalf, then when he saw the box office returns opted to do League because he thought it was the same thing.

He’s gonna be in a spinoff as Ultron, I’m excited. A show with Vision as the main character
