It seems to us from the outside that Marvel always knows exactly where they are going next, they just don’t reveal that information to us until they feel it’s the right time. We expect to have the slate for the next three years mapped out very soon, maybe around some of the summer conventions.

In a recent AMAA on Reddit, Marvel boss Kevin Feige discussed just how far the plan in advance for the MCU.

“We usually work with a specific 5 year plan at any given point but often have a general plan that extends much, much further.”

This makes perfect sense actually, there is no point in solidifying your plans too far in advance as you cannot say how certain movies are going to be accepted by the audience. However, you also have to have a rough idea of the kind of character that could be teased to come later, or an idea of the kind of event movies they want to build towards.

It also means that as far as we can tell, there’s a good chance that Feige does have the next five years almost locked down, even if they only reveal the next three years slate this year. It probably also explains Feige’s previous comments with regards to the Fox properties that Disney now own. Feige said it would be at least 5 years before we see X-Men or Fantastic Four characters announced.

So while Feige has probably already had discussions about where those characters can come in, they probably do not affect the five-year plan they currently have set in stone for the foreseeable future. And let’s face it, so far this strategy is working out really well for the MCU and there is absolutely no reason at all to change it up.

What do you think of Feige’s comments, do you think 5 years is around the right time to plan out at one time? Leave any thoughts you have in the usual spot below.
