Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige promised that the next 10 years of the MCU has already been planned.

During Disney's presentation at CinemaCon 2022, the first looks at Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness -- which has already nabbed $42 million in advance ticket sales -- and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever were shown. Feige also spoke about some exciting projects in the works, including a mysterious 3D movie. He then revealed that he'd just returned from an in-person retreat with the other heads of Marvel Studios, where the team mapped out what's coming to the big screen in the next decade. "In the next 10 years, with existing characters and new characters and new storytelling tools with the multiverse, anything can happen," Feige said.

Feige also revealed that the retreat featured a giant board "that takes us through the next decade [of films] and they are unique and special and they are meant for your theaters." The overall tone of the presentation was one in celebration of the rebound of movie theaters after the blow the industry took during the first year and a half of the COVID-19 pandemic. He cited the theatrical success of Spider-Man: No Way Home, which brought in $1.89 billion globally and netted a reported $610 million in profits. While Marvel Studios is also building out its television offerings on Disney+, Feige promised its biggest stories would still be hitting theaters, meaning Black Widow's day-and-date streaming release will remain a fluke.

Of course, Feige didn't reveal just what Marvel Studios has in store over the next decade, but fans eager to learn more about Phase 4 and beyond have plenty to go on. Beyond the confirmed big and small screen titles, like Thor: Love and Thunder, She-Hulk, The Marvels, Blade, and Fantastic Four, the MCU will reportedly see a Nova/Richard Rider film in the future, with Moon Knight writer Sabir Pirzada attached to tackle the script. This may or may not be separate from a reported cosmic Marvel film that recently popped up on a production listing.

More concrete but without any firm release date or details is the arrival of the X-Men in the MCU. Feige has made no secret that mutants are coming now that Disney owns the film rights to the Marvel characters once controlled by Fox, but there's been no hint as to when they might pop up on the big screen. That said, it seems certain that Patrick Stewart's Professor X is in Multiverse of Madness, so the answer to that and many more questions about the MCU's future may be right around the corner.
