Collider was told by Kevin Feige, President of Marvel Entertainment, that he's not in a hurry to make Avengers 5.

This is a sign that he's back to the formula. There were five films at the start: Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk and Iron Man 2, where Natasha Romanoff was introduced, Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger, and Thor. In the Avengers' first movie, Hawkeye is introduced to the fans and the whole team is ready to go.
Many of the original Avengers are either dead or too old to continue their work, so there's a new group of super-heroes in the works. Feige urges fans to get to know the new players before they jump into another Avengers story.
The Disney+ series are helping MCU fans to get to know new characters on an intimate but larger scale. They include WandaVision, Winter Soldier, Winter Soldier, Loki and upcoming shows such as Hawkeye, Shehulk, Moon Knight and Ms. Marvel. There are films like this year's Shang-Chi, the Legend of the Ten Rings and Eternals and Spider-Man: No Way Home. Even I think it is too soon to make another Avengers movie.
Feige stated that we need to allow enough time for the Endgame to begin a new story, which is already in progress and has already begun. You need to have time, just like in Phase 1, before you can start bringing people together.
Endgame's buzz is strong, and it would be difficult to keep up with this trend so soon. It is better to stick to the script, since there is no need for a new story. Feige's plan has worked and he wants to create anticipation before a new set of Avengers heroes are brought back into the spotlight. Smart move.
