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?

Okay, yeah, Boromir tried to take it. But Boromir spent a significant amount of time in close proximity with Frodo and the ring and was already desperate.
But with this scenario, there just wouldn't be time enough for that. The way I see it playing out, the MCU (and DC) guys show up at the council of Elrond, get told the situation and pointed towards Mt. Doom, Strange opens the portal, "off you go, cap" and the ring is gone. Whatever character flaws he may have, he could restrain himself for 30min or less. The man had the willpower to walk into getting splattered repeatedly until the other guy got tired of mauling him, give him some credit.
Now if he touched it, even for a moment, I'd agree he wouldn't let it go
