Do watch the series Ms Marvel first. Even if you don't like superhero stuff, it's worth it.

You may not expect a flashy superhero origin story to deal in depth with conservative family values or the partition of India in 1947, but this one does and it's great.
View original postIt probably won't surprise you too much to learn that I am not one of the people who are outraged when a protagonist is someone other than a white man.
It certainly doesn't - but not coincidentally, all three of the movies you named are movies with female protagonists made by female directors, while two of them are also rather more racially diverse than the earlier Marvel movies (not much in the way of racial diversity in Black Widow what with its Russian background). Anti-woke backlash and whining from parts of the fanbase were definitely a factor there.
I just watched Stardust (2007) on Amazon Prime

Do keep in mind that the American market is less than half of a typical blockbuster's box office.

I meant Marvel movies in general, not those in particular. I don't enjoy the MCU all that much.
