Marvel Plans Superhero Movies Thru 2028

In a stunning statement, Kevin Feige, President of Disney/Marvel told Bloomberg Businessweek  that "It's like looking through the Hubble telescope. You go, "What's happening back there? I can sort of see it." Our plans for films reaching well into the next decade, at least to 2028."

Disney/Marvel Plan on Big Future

This is great news for the cinema industry, as Marvel Studios has had great box office success since opening its doors, just six years ago. Its debut movie was 'Iron Man' and its latest blockbuster, 'The Avengers', was the third biggest grosser of all time with a $1.5billion global box office take.  Thus far, Marvel has put out 9 films, including the current 'Captain America:The Winter Soldier' and three more films are ready for release: 'Guardians of the Galaxy', 'The Avengers:Age of Ultron'. and 'Ant Man'. 

In the works is a movie based on the Doctor Strange character, as well as, more installments of Thor, Captain America, and Iron Man.  But Feige isn't satisfied with that, he says, "Marvel has identified more than 8,000 characters in their comic-book back catalog that could be featured in stand-along movies."  To prove it, Feige has a large illustration on his office wall which depicts planned movies going out to 2028.

Many More Superheros Planned

In a recent meeting with Marvel/Disney execs Feige laid out his plans for new characters being introduced in next year's 'Avengers:Age of Ultron' that could feature in their own movies. The front runners are 'Quicksilver' and 'Scarlet Witch' who will both debut in the 'Age of Ultron'.

The high-impact, superhero movies are currently driving the cinema box office so why not keep them coming. The more the better for the industry and cinema owners in particular.
