Bob Iger Says Star Wars And Marvel Movies Will Continue Forever

Disney chairman Bob Iger says Star Wars and Marvel movies will continue “forever” Last year a little movie came out that you might have heard of, it was called Star Wars: The Force Awakens and to date it has made over $1.9 billion at the global box office. It’s the first in a whole slew of Star Wars films set to be distributed by The Walt Disney Company, including Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Star Wars: Episode VIII, Star Wars: Episode IX, and a Young Han Solo spin-off.  Now, surprising no one, word has come that Disney is already planning on making even more beyond the next four films. “There are five Star Wars films – four more with Episode VII: The Force Awakens – that are in varying stages of development and production,” Disney chairman Bob Iger tells Newsbeat. “There will be more after that, I don’t know how many, I don’t know how often.” The really interesting thing from this quote is Iger’s hesitation on the release pattern for these unannounced movies.
