We all know who DC’s Trinity consists of, but Marvel is a bit more difficult to get a handle on in this regard. On the one hand, Spider-Man is their most iconic character, but on the other hand, he’s primarily a street level hero who generally isn’t part of the main Avengers lineup.
So what about Iron Man, Captain America and Thor? From a story perspective, would you say that they fill that role?

The MCU doesn't have a trinity of iconic characters because Marvel Comics does not have a trinity of iconic characters.
For a long time, Marvel had a unity in Wolverine but, things have shifted since the days of Wolverine mania.

In Avengers lore, Cap, IM and Thor are known as 'The Big 3.' Considering the MCU revolves around the Avengers, it's safe to say they're the trinity as of now. Ideally, Marvel probably hopes Black Panther, Captain Marvel and a yet to be introduced hero become the trinity of the MCU going forward. The central characters should constantly shift over time so the entire cinematic universe doesn't become static.

Movie wise I would say yes.
Not sure about comics.

Yes in my opinion, or Spider-Man, Wolverine and Hulk. Can we say they have two trinities?

Yes. Because Marvel is sexist.

I'd say so even if they aren't the most well known three.
You could make the argument perhaps that Spider-man, Hulk and Wolverine were more well known.

In the MCU, yes. I'd call Spider-man, Hulk & Wolverine the original trinity before the MCU. I think those 3 characters were most popular in the early 2000s before the MCU. I don't have enough expertize in that area to say something about the comics.

In the movies? Yes. Cap, IM and Thor.
In the comics it would be Wolverine, Spiderman and Hulk.
That said, in the DCEU their trinity might not last long. Superman and Batman can't seem to get enough steam to hold on to their flagship status. I wouldn't be surprised if 5 years from now the DCEU trinity becomes Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Flash.
