Kinda the way Marvel handled Agents of SHIELD and the Netflix shows. They were in the MCU as far as the shows where concerned but the movies ignored them.
I tend to agree with this. I think some Marvel properties could stay outside - or at least, only tenuously connected - to the MCU, and it would actually benefit the storytelling.
Although I wouldn't have a non-MCU movie about an MCU character, like D.C. Appears to be doing with Joker. That's just baffling.
Ehh I kinda like what DC is doing with Joker. I'd actually love to see Marvel do some stand alone stories. It'd be kinda refreshing to have some stuff just be able to stand on it's own without having to be tied into a greater overall story. This is why I'm probably the most excited about the Blade movie, as I think it'll be the closest thing we'll get to that in the MCU.
My problem with what DC are doing is not that they have a standalone Joker story, but that they have a standalone Joker story completely unconnected with the DCEU story line, using a different actor in the role. I mean, I guess there's nothing fundamentally wrong with it, but it does tend to blur the line between what is part of a continuity and what isn't.
I'm all for Marvel doing standalone films, or even series (like X-Men or Deadpool) which are unconnected from the core MCU narrative. But having multiple continuities share characters gets a bit messy.
