How long will Kevin Feige keep the MCU going?
It sounds like Feige has no intentions of stopping the MCU anytime soon. If he wants to keep it going for another 16 years, though, things will have to be kept fresh.
There are two major releases coming up: Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Avengers: Doomsday. Both should be big hits, as the last Tom Holland-led Spider-Man made over $1.9 billion at the box office. The last Avengers movie, Endgame, is one of the highest-grossing movies ever, making nearly $2.8 billion.
As of the time of this writing, the next MCU movie after Doomsday is another Avengers flick, Secret Wars, which is slated to come out nearly a full year later on Dec. 17, 2027.
Of course, more movies could be announced to fill in the calendar in 2027. However, the MCU’s output has slowly scaled back over the last couple of years. After releasing four movies in theaters in 2021, Marvel released three in 2022 and 2023.
In 2024, there was just one MCU movie, Deadpool & Wolverine. However, they returned to the three-release format in 20255 when Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts*, and The Fantastic Four: First Steps were all released. Several MCU Disney+ series have come out over the last couple of years in addition to the movies.
