Well, that feels like a different circumstance to me. II, III, IV and so on are significantly more understandable and readable compared to... MMXXIII or what have you.
Before long, Hollywood is going to have to decide whether to continue using Roman numerals for sequels, or switch to Arabic numerals. Roman numerals are fine and well when it's for "Star Trek III" or even as much as "Star Trek VI" (somehow they skipped V...), but when in the modern age when your new movie is "Ant-Man and The Avengers CCXCIV" it gets a little ridiculous.

They’ve already decided: “whatever we feel like for the film in question"

None of the Marvel films have used roman numerals, and, IIRC, in the MCU only the Iron Man films and the Guardians of the Galaxy films have used numbers (and Deadpool, which wasn’t really MCU until the next one, also uses numbers) outside of early working titles. Most of the other “series” within the MCU (Thor, Avengers, Captain America, Doctor Strange, Black Panther) have used subtitles after the first (or in the case of Ant-Man, used a longer main title for the second, and a subtitle to that for the third).
No, that's Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.
The movie you pointed to doesn't exist; it's a conspiracy by IMDB and other parties to make you think there really was a Star Trek V, when in fact there was never any such movie. If you believe there was, then you're a crazy person who probably also thinks there were sequels to The Matrix.
Star Trek V absolutely exists, if it didn’t, I wouldn’t have anything to point to to explain why I ignore Shatner when he tries to say how Gene Roddenberry would disapprove of things in modern Trek.
Roman numerals for years are not so much harder to read than those for single digit numbers because they don't change very often. MMXXIII and MMXXIV are about as easy to understand as III and IV - you've already had three years to learn that we're doing MMXX prefixes now.
