I doubt they'll reboot in either way, and I think people are overestimating the amount of time travel/changing we'll get in these films. Things will keep moving, just it will be the changing of the guard. Different characters at the forefront and different types of story.

The 2010 to 2016 thing doesn't really work, because inclusive counting only really applies to integers, not halves. People who count inclusively, for whatever reason, wouldn't call that 7.5 years, just 7. There wouldn't be decimals involved. It's not just "add 1.0", it's them counting "2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016... 7 years". But that sounds like the type of compromise that might have to come into play. We'll see.

The new issue of Empire reaffirms the previous reports - "The story of Black Panther on film picks up straight after the events of Civil War, in the wake of King T'Chaka's death. T'Challa returns home to assume power, just in time to defend his kingdom Wakanda - one of the world's most technologically and scientifically advanced nations - from enemies old and new."

Sounds like it is immediate, before Spider-Man: Homecoming, probably July 2016, depending on how long it spans. Hopefully there won't be anything placing it in any year other than 2016, and hopefully Infinity War is like a year and a half later, they don't say like "last year" or "a few months ago", or finish leading directly into that film (I doubt they will do that, it seems very stand-alone and if it is literally set directly after Civil War, I'm sure they would know not to then lead directly into Infinity War, realising that that would mean there is like one month between those two films and that that cannot work). Maybe just a credits scene leading into it, like Ragnarok, which is an indefinite amount of time after the rest of the film.
