Marvel Studios Has Movies Planned Until 2028

Bloomberg Businesweek, while not usually known for breaking nerd journalism scoops, has a fantastic profile of Marvel Studios executive Kevin Feige up today. The profile reveals some promising bits and pieces about the future of the cinematic Marvel Universe, including just how far into the future they're planning these franchises.

Bloomberg's profile describes "a map of films" on the wall of Mr. Feige's office. "They printed out a new one recently that went to 2028," Feige laughs. "It’s like looking through the Hubble telescope. You go, ‘What’s happening back there?’ But it’s real."

So, from the sound of things, there's no danger of a total reboot of the multi-franchise operation any time soon. If anything, Mr. Feige plans to take Marvel's potential film and TV properties further and further out into the cosmos.

The profile (which is quite in-depth) is worth a read for any Marvel fan, and it's peppered with tidbits like this one, which describes a potential "major spoiler" (and possible mystery villain) for Guardians of the Galaxy... (and by the way, you COULD consider this next bit a Guardians of the Galaxy spoiler)

Gunn freezes a frame of an imposing-looking villain any serious comic book fan would recognize instantly. He sits on a rocket-powered throne. 

It's a fairly open secret that Thanos is going to be involved in some capacity in James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy, and he does love his thrones, so...there you are. Anyway, go read the rest of the article, which is peppered with fun anecdotes about the development of other Marvel films like Captain America: The First Avenger and Thor, as well as hints about the future of the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise and its potential spinoffs.
