Think I've got it. Avengers three is like a prelude to secret wars, with at the end of Ant Man/Wasp Janet/Hank is recruited by Nick Fury or someone into a mysterous project. In the SW/QS movie, they face off against the mysterous vision, who alludes to his master. When it comes to the Avengers Three, all is revealed. After the masters of Evil, the Illuminati was formed with the intention of safeguarding humanity from threats earthbound and beyond. Part of this project was Ultron, the global peacekeeping AI. Ultron was produced by the greatest minds in the Illuminati (Tony, Black Bolt, Banner, Pym, Xaivier etc) but turned against his creators until they destroyed the project, or so they thought. For the last year or so he has been planning and learning about humanity to help achieve his goal of peacekeeping earth.

By the time Avengers Three comes along, Ultron has launched devastating attacks all around the world. Unlike AoU, his goal is not to destroy humanity, but unite them under one ruler. He sees the continued survival of humanity only through a new world order, making him a more sympathetic character that Ulton in AoU.

Secret Wars is a threat so big that they need everyone to overcome it, so naturally if Ultron is sorta right, it means that The Avengers are broken and defenceless against the larger threat. While Ultron delivers directly into Civil War in the MCU, for him to build the bridge to secret wars he needs to leave humanity feeling hopeless, with meer men left to save the planet.

Sound okay?

(Also, if you wanted to be really balsy, you could have a time jump of say, 15 years after Secret Wars, so we can deal with new/legacy heroes to take up the jobs of the old heroes who saved the earth in Secret wars)

Also, I made this to highlight the main characters of this universe, alongside any characters who may or may not be left behind without explaination. Characters like spider man are fine not being in the avengers, but She-Hulk probably needs a throwaway line to validate why she won't appear in Avengers 2. Same goes for any other side characters introduced in Phase two.
