Maybe if they decided to run it against Dark Knight, instead of using it to kick off the summer movie season. Obviously TDK would kill it (Iron Man's competition IOTL were Speed Racer, Prince Caspian, and later Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull, not a very strong field to be honest, and im one of the few people who LIKED indy 4).

No. When the actors were signed they all signed six film contracts. I remember interview where Chris Evans talked about it. At one point they were talking about NINE Captain America films.
