Vanity Fair's current cover story on Marvel is dedicated to the movie studio's 10 years of success. In a decade, Kevin Feige and co. have managed to create a shared universe that spans film and television, with the former all serving a larger, single narrative. By the time 2018 concludes, there will have been 22 movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but the studio isn't stopping there.

Feige, president of Marvel Studios and the main architect of its Cinematic Universe, revealed that the company has at least 20 more movies planned after the untitled fourth Avengers film. No details were shared beyond the fact that James Gunn - director of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies - is working in close collaboration with Feige to potentially create spin-off flicks for some of the characters he's already established. With so many movies on the way - which Feige described as "completely different from anything that's come before - intentionally," we take a look at some candidates we believe have to be part of the plan!

Power Pack

This is a bit of a cheat, since a Power Pack movie was reported to be back in development by Marvel Studios earlier in the year. Said to be envisioned along the lines of the Spy Kids franchise, this property allows Marvel to specifically aim a movie (potentially even a series of them) at a young audience. The movie would be a fun and friendly adventure movie that focuses on siblings - Jack, Julie, Katie and Alex Power - who are granted amazing abilities by a dying Kymellian (an alien, horse-like race) named Aelfyre Whiteman.

Aside from high school student Peter Parker, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is heavily focused on grown adult superheroes. While this, of course, is appealing to children of all ages, there's no property that's been tailor-made from the younger set. A Power Pack movie would fill that gap, perfectly.

Miles Morales

Since his introduction in August 2011, Miles Morales has been one of Marvel Comics' breakout characters. It was confirmed in Spider-Man: Homecoming that Miles does exist within Marvel's Cinematic Universe, with Donald Glover's character Aaron Davis referencing him in a deleted scene featuring his run-in with Peter Parker's wall-crawler.

Introducing Miles in a future Spider-Man sequel (there are two currently planned) would give Peter the opportunity to display his maturity and allow him to mentor a younger hero, much like Tony Stark did in the first Homecoming flick. Sony is developing an animated Spider-Man movie that focuses on Miles, so soon enough the mainstream audience will be familiar with the character, an awareness Marvel Studios should work with Sony capitalize on.

Nick Fury

When the Marvel Cinematic Universe was first born, actor Samuel L. Jackson did something unheard of in Hollywood: he signed a nine-picture deal to portray Nick Fury. A lot of his appearances were nothing more than glorified cameos (take Iron Man and Avengers: Age of Ultron, for example), but it's clear that fans can't get enough of his super-spy.

Jackson's biggest role in a Marvel movie to date came in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, which is widely regarded as one of, if not the best MCU films. Marvel Studios would be wise to tap into another genre it has yet to explore - the spy genre - putting Nick Fury deep in the action. Jackson's a legendary actor who could pull in a huge audience on his own, and exploring Nick Fury's own adventures would be another sure-fire hit.

Nova

As we mentioned earlier, James Gunn is actively working on expanding the cosmic side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. One character that has been long rumored, requested and suggested who would fit perfectly in Gunn's section of the MCU is Nova. The director has discussed the possibility of Nova's inclusion in a future movie in the past, and not once has he completely shot it down.

Nova Corps

Nova is a character that has been around for over 40 years, albeit in a several different iterations. This means that Marvel has options; it can use an older version of the character in Richard Ryder, or a younger version in Samuel Alexander. An even better option might be debuting them together, with Ryder already established as the hero faced with the task of teaching Alexander what it takes to become the Human Rocket! There are plenty of solo movies and ensemble pieces in Marvel's repertoire, but not many films that have two main protagonists.

Kate Bishop: Hawkeye

While it's great that Marvel Studios is looking to diversify its offerings, that doesn't mean that it can't build upon what it's already put into place. Kate Bishop, otherwise known as Hawkeye, would be the perfect character to star in her own feature. Fans have been pining for a Hawkeye flick since Jeremy Renner's hero played a major part in 2012's Avengers, and this could be an incredible spin on what's expected.

Marvel - Hawkeye and Kate Bishop

Marvel should bring Renner along for the ride here, of course. A movie focusing on Clint Barton training Kate would offer a great opportunity to strengthen the MCU's roster with another strong female hero while honoring the person who came before her. Not only that, but it could pave the way for a new set of Avengers...

Young Avengers

A lot of Marvel's main players - including Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth - are nearing the end of their multi-picture contracts, and they can't play their superheroic characters forever. That's where the Young Avengers step in.

Young Avengers

Marvel Studios has already introduced a number of younger characters who could well step into the shoes of those who have come before them. Scott Lang (otherwise known as Ant-Man) and his daughter Cassie were introduced in 2015; in Marvel Comics, Cassie becomes a hero known as Stature. She has a similar skill set as her father, but provides a different dynamic. Using young characters that have already been established - and introducing more over time - allows a natural progression into a Young Avengers movie. It just makes sense.
