Disney has a pretty huge slate of upcoming films. Not only do they have numerous live-action takes on classic animations such as Cinderella and Jungle Book scheduled for release, they also have numerous Marvel and Star Wars films in the works.

First off, in the Marvel department, there’s Captain America: Civil War, Doctor Strange, Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Thor: Ragnarok, Avengers: Age of Ultron, another Ant-Man and Inhumans. Oh, and three as-yet-untitled projects as well as Spider-Man (with Sony).

Then, on the Star Wars front, there’s Episode VIII, Episode IX, Rogue One and a Han Solo spin-off, along with a possible Boba Fett film.

If that wasn’t enough for you, Disney CEO Bob Iger has some good news for you: "There will be more [Star Wars films] after that,” he told BBC Newsbeat. “I don't know how many, I don't know how often.”

Then, when asked about the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Iger said: "Marvel, you're dealing with thousands and thousands of characters - that will go on forever.”

Isn’t he worried fans are growing bored of seeing superhero films at the cinema? "No, I don't think they're getting weary,” he said.

"But I think we keep raising the bar in terms of telling stories that bring them back, that excites them, that makes it feel new and that is what we do for a living.”

Things that make crazy money will continue....shocking.

 

[Drencrom]

Fucking awful and expected

 

[strafer]

Superhero movies are the new 90´s action movies.

 

[Cipher Peon]

AWESOME NEWS

I don't care about Star Wars but I WANT the MCU to continue long after I'm long gone!

 

[Pilgrimzero]

Coming summer of 2020! Nextwave!

 

[Xamtheking]

Just bring back the XMen and FF please
Eventually

It's not a collector's item

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Oh dear.

 

[McDougles]

He only said the Marvel Cinematic Universe will go on forever, because of its thousands of characters giving them a bunch of stories. On Star Wars movies, he said, “I don't know how many, I don't know how often.”

What a misleading headline that will make it look like they're just churning out Star Wars movies ad infinitum.

Also, copy+pasting an entire article. "woof" all around.

 

[The Kree]

Still waiting for that superhero bubble to burst.

 

[chrisPjelly]

How fucking hilarious would it be to have a universal reboot in the MCU akin to new 52?

 

[Dishwalla]

Already sick of Marvel stuff, wonder how long I can hold out on Star Wars.

 

[Slayven]

It would take a Nega Bomb

Marvel isn't that stupid, nor do they employ Geoff Johns

I would like an Eternals movie or TV series. I've been rereading them lately. Kirby was a mad man.

 

[Into]

Never gonna stop the Star Wars
Have no fear
We got stories in the rear

 

[Malyse]

A. It's not very long.
B. I don't think they are missing the 13 pageviews that much.

 

[Vincent Grayson]

With how big they're going in phase 3, I honestly wonder what the plan is after that.

 

[Tambini]

 

[Poetic.Injustice]

The bubble has to burst at some point.

 

[Auto-Reply]

"Forever" is a really long time, we're talking several years here! Maybe even tens of years.

He was mad to a point.

Like think god Marvel didn't let him turn Thor and company into the 4th world crap. Let DC hold those Ls

 

[Messypandas]

Urgh.

 

[PeskyToaster]

I don't mind lots of Star Wars, judging by merchandise sales it never has gone away. Unlike most comic books I think Star Wars has always occupied space in the public mind basically since it came out in the 70s. I'm just thankful it's back and I can enjoy some new content.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

I wonder where superhero movies would be if spiderman 1 wasnt great. Or batman begins.. Ill throw iron man in too. Since he was not mainstream

 

[jon bones]

i'm in

 

[Interfectum]

Some of the responses here are perplexing. Did anyone honestly think Disney would just stop making Marvel and Star Wars stuff anytime in the foreseeable future?

"Oh no some people are tired of super hero movies, lets close up shop, it was fun while it lasted."

lol

It could go on forever but I think they will at least have some breaks. If you have 20 superhero movies a year, people will get a bit sick of it I think.

They all have Blade to thank.

 

[AnathemicOne]

I don't mind Star Wars as long as it's good and the main films don't come out on a yearly basis.

 

[digitalrelic]

Correction: They will go on until people no longer want to pay to see them. Which, in my opinion, will be somewhere around 2025. This will be followed by 5-8 years of silence, and then a "reboot" of the whole thing again.

 

[Kouichi]

I love Star Wars and I love the MCU, so I'm okay with this.

 

[Broken Joystick]

Where do I buy the season pass

 

[Braag]

They will go on for as long as they keep making money.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

Eh - not imo. Blade was '98, 4 years prior to spidey and the soon to be explosion.

Much less of a quintessential marvel/dc superhero archetype, which would spur more similar hero films getting signed off on.

In a small example Pretty sure if blade did well i wouldnt approve to make iron man... If batman did well i would approve to make iron man

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Marvel forever

 

[BatDan]

As long as they make money, they're going to keep going.

 

[gamz]

Common sense 101.

If something is making money why stop?

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Meh. I was so sure that Star Wars will be over forever after IX and that we dont get any Marvel Movies after Infinity War.

 

[Mr-Joker]

I can take more Marvel movies...Star Wars however I couldn't give a toss about it.

 

[KevinG]

I think we will see Star Wars Episodes X-XII in the '20s.

I don't like it. I think keeping a franchise at six (good) movies is enough.

 

[Q8D3vil]

Yay for Marvel nay for starwars.

 

[CassSept]

Marvel comics had been going on for well over half a century now, it's no surprise the same can be applied to films.

Star Wars, well, that's unfortunate. We'll see how that pans out.

 

[Shaanyboi]

With how big they're going in phase 3, I honestly wonder what the plan is after that.

I can imagine at some point they'll get the F4 rights back, and we'll see stuff like like Galactus, the Skrull invasion, etc. We may see some mantle-passing, some new heroes here or there...

But yeah overall, the Infinity Gauntlet has been a pretty clear endgame for a while now. What's the target after that?

Then we might finally see a Batman Beyond movie!

oh wait...

[Mr. Poolman]

Oh no! how will they keep the integrity of my favorite commercial products???
How dare they?

 

[Kyne]

I mean..

I'm not going to stop going to theaters for Marvel movies, like, ever.

Honestly, if I was a little kid again and I could binge the Marvel Universe in the form of feature length films ... I would be ecstatic.

 

[Ahasverus]

Well it would be good if they explore more obscure properties, which sometimes are more interesting than main ones.

 

[Walshicus]

Fucking awful and expected

Why? If they can keep making interesting movies more power to them. It's not like they're seeing fatigue with Marvel - Ant Man and Guardians were brilliant and knock the socks off many of their earlier films.
