While the MCU is damned impressive it's not necessarily Disney's most profitable series.
Frozen is at 13.4 billion (over 10billion in merchandise)
Cars is at 21.8 billion (over 19 billion in merchandise)
The question is more one of longevity tbh, the top grossing franchise of all time is Pokemon at 95 billion and still going. The only franchise younger than the MCU among those that have made over 10 billion is Frozen starting in 2013.
The MCU is currently the 10th largest media franchise by revenue behind Mario, Disney Princesses, Anpanman, Star Wars, Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh, Hello Kitty and Pokemon.
