I think the answer is yes, but not today or anytime soon.
In the short term you'll see more use of JS for your everyday UI animation needs (animated nav, fading through images, etc). This has already happened for the most part.
Slightly further out, we'll see more and more HTML5 video replacing Flash video - and a little further out from that, rich web apps like Mozilla's Bespin project popping up. The technology is almost there but it won't be feasible on a mass scale until the release of IE9. In the meantime, you'll see more and more solutions that deliver video in different formats depending on the client used to access the site.
