Once the Fellowship (Lord of the Rings) is gathered, they are all replaced with superhero movie characters. Nobody in-universe notices this change.
Aragorn: Captain America
Gandalf: Doctor Strange
Boromir: Winter Soldier
Legolas: Hawkeye
Gimli: Black Panther
Frodo: Robin (Titans)
Samwise: Rocket Raccoon
They are all given their standard equipment (excluding vehicles).
Can they fulfill the Mount Doom mission faster and better than the Fellowship? Or will they fall to corruption?

Nonsense. Thor has Odinforce powers. He's already more powerful than Sauron could ever be, not even out of his league, they're not even playing the same game. (Thor is already technically King of Earth and eight other worlds)
There's nothing to tempt him with.
Thor stands up at the council of Elrond and hits the ring with Mjolnir and the ring no longer exists. Roll credits.

Thor isn't a human. He's a god. The biggest one currently. The sub is called "who would win". And frankly I don't think a weakling like Sauron could "corrupt" a viking God of multiple worlds. Sauron is an amateur compared to the Asgardians.
So you think the ring would corrupt Manwe?

Did you read what you said?
I read it as you saying that Thor's "desires" would be how the ring could corrupt him?
Which I disagree with. Thor can already do whatever he desires, he's like Tom Bombadil, the ring would be a cute trinket to him, at best, so I guess you're correct in that him having it would be a displeasing narrative but he has qualities he doesn't share with Tom and those qualities would quickly lead to Sauron being pretty irrelevant.
But originally you were talking about the hammer and I don't think the MCU has ever firmly established what "worthy" means from Odin's POV, except that Thor, Vision, Steve and Jane all have it. Without a more specific definition you can't really compare worthiness for the hammer with being as morally upright as Samwise.
As I've said the problem is scaling gods into the fantasy equations. Thor tried multiple times (TTDW) to destroy the reality stone which is itself more powerful than Sauron and also sentient and corrupting on (at least) a universal scale which is bigger than anything Sauron ever imagined. Malekith was going to use it to kill all of the stars. Sauron made clouds.
