They need to develop a female hero who hasn't yet been developed in the MCU (and given that it looks like Captain Marvel is going to be "time-frozen" from the 90s, they need a woman who was born this side of the 80s).

Hope Van Dyne as Wasp might do it, but I heard that she's confined to the Ant-Man line of movies because someone doesn't want to share rights?
Oh JFC, probably. On the other hand, supposedly Michelle Pfeiffer is going to be Jan, and she is RIGHT in that timeline (fifty-nine!) and if it's a movie about Hope rescuing Jan, I will be there with fucking bells on. Especially if Jan then joins the Avengers (probably not, but....fanfic?). I do like Hope. Paul Rudd's Ant-Man turned me right off, though.
Wanda could do it, if they could stop painting her in the victim/perpetratro dichotomy.
Oh my God, I can't even deal with MCU Wanda. She was cast wrong and written wrong and just....is so wrong. Comics Wanda basically got ruined (altho I liked her new recent series, even if it was by a dude) and MCU Wanda is pretty much an overpowered battle prop/pretty little innocent girl. Nothankyou.
And yeah, they cut off a lot of avenues by making all the 'new' superheroes guys, with nary a female-coded one in sight.
That's a really good point, especially since there have been new female superheroes in the comics for years now. And a lot of them are even associated WITH Spiderman (or Spiderman even is Miles! I like Miles). It's that old Four Guys and One Chick cliche (which the new Thor movie neatly falls into, judging from the trailer: Thor, Loki, Bruce/Hulk, and Valkyrie). It's 2017! Can't there be more than one woman? What are they afraid of, that we'll asexually reproduce or something?
