In the Year 2525

Not really, when you think about it. Tony Stark had proven to be a disappointment, and while his Avengers and SHIELD suffered tons of problems, Norman's Thunderbolts looked great (from the outside), which made it look like he had his shit together. Then, he goes and does the "impossible" and kills the Skrull Queen, and suddenly he's a hero, and to the outside observer, has essentially done everything better than Tony Stark. Add a lot of ass-kissing and cover ups, and Norman suddenly looks very attractive to be the new Nick Fury.
Namor definitely keeps them honest. He's always kind of been the moral center as well, when Reed and Tony strayed he was always the first to call them out.
The followup will be a group of Marvel villains will attempt to steal a cellphone which contains the names of the Illuminati, only they think it's the Dan Brown-type Illuminati, only to read the names of Marvel's Illuminati and have no idea why such a list is valuable.
Marvel could call this miniseries Identity Phone, or I Phone for short.
