Marvel Studios outlines MCU film slate through 2042

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige disclosed that the company has internally mapped out a sequence of movies extending to 2042. The plan, revealed during a Chinese interview with Watching Hollywood, cites the upcoming "Avengers: Doomsday" (2026) and "Avengers: Secret Wars" (2027) as the next milestones before the long‑term roadmap continues. Central to the future narrative will be the X‑Men, positioned as the core of a forthcoming "Mutant Saga" that will span multiple phases and introduce new characters, including a live‑action Miles Morales. Feige stressed the schedule is a strategic guide, not a guaranteed slate, noting that production cadence has slowed – only two MCU films are slated for this year and one for the next – which pushes later projects further out. Fan reaction has been mixed, with enthusiasm for the extended vision tempered by skepticism about the studio’s ability to sustain quality over such a horizon. While the roadmap remains flexible, the emphasis on mutants signals a major shift in the franchise’s focus beyond the traditional Avengers lineup.
