Kevin Feige has a plan for the collective of Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, and it's a good one.
Case in point, if you're doubtful about that far out in the future, Feige said in an interview with Wired that if you need proof, that they had made plans for the 2015 movies back in 2006. (I'm betting they were more hope than plan, but it's always good to scribble down hopes!)
With their track record as it is, we also have to keep in mind that there aren't just Disney movies but other movies from the other distributors to think about.
Though, to be honest, do you? When I think Marvel, I pretty much only think about the Disney releases. Any other distributor has an uphill battle with grabbing my attention. And they'll probably continue to do so unless they play nice in the sandbox and share some.
But be it as it may, while DC/WB struggles to figure out how to launch their characters, Marvel/Disney is charging ahead hard with what is now a tried and true formulaic process for their franchises. And DC/Wb doesn't dare follow suit, in fears of looking shabby.
And as Marvel makes movies, they introduce a character here and there, making their inclusion into their world a rather simple, and natural kind of intro.
And Feige said that they now have to prove that they are more than the five characters we've come to know so far.
That might be a DC battle. Meaning, sure, you have other popular characters, but will they convert to box office gold?
Marvel fans can hope so, but that will have to be some seriously good screenplay writing to pull off some of the other favorite but not hugely popular characters, like Doctor Strange, Black Panther, Ant-Man, more of The Punisher, Luke Cage, Sub-Mariner and even Guardians of the Galaxy. I mean seriously, I never heard of them until their title was announced. So for me the draw is minimal for now.
Regardless of official draw, the studio is building a reputation and has changed the game of Hollywood and fantasy superhero genres, joining the Dark Knight as a new genre to contend for fans attention.
Be it as it may, here's how things look for the MCU for past and future plotting.
Iron Man - 2008
Punisher: War Zone - 2008
The Incredible Hulk - 2008
Iron Man 2 - 2010
Thor - 2011

The Avengers - 2012
The Amazing Spider-Man - 2012
