I don't think there will be an Avengers 3, at least not with all of the same cast. I remember reading in later 2008, after Iron Man had hit it big, that Robert Downey Jr. had just signed a four-picture deal with Marvel. That would include Iron Man 2, The Avengers, Iron Man 3, and Avengers 2. On top of Iron Man and his cameo in The Incredible Hulk, he'll have portrayed the character in a total of six films. Is he going to want to do more after Avengers 2?
I think Chris Hemsworth and Chris Evans signed four-picture deals too, which would amount to two solo films for their respective characters and two Avengers mash-ups. Mark Ruffalo, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, and Cobie Smulders are probably the only sure bets of the current cast for any Avengers 3.
