With Marvel movies in such a demand, this is only the beginning for the comic studio




According to Disney CEO Bob Iger, Marvel Studios has yet to reach its peak.




"Marvel is, as far as we're concerned, just getting started," said Iger during a quarterly earning call with Disney investors. "The results of ['Captain America: The Winter Soldier'], though, I think, are very, very telling."




In a brief summary, he ran down a list of successful movies that Marvel Studios has completed thus far. He also predicted future triumph for the second installment of "The Avengers."




"When you look at a film that is approaching almost $700 million in global box office, I think $680 million, and you compare that to the first 'Captain America', which did under $400 million worldwide and even look at it versus the 'Thor' movies, and a few of the 'Iron Man' movies, you're looking at a film that has actually done substantially better than a lot of the Marvel films that we put out," he said. "Now, it was a great film, but it's clear that momentum is building for that franchise and with 'Avengers 2' in production and coming up and characters from 'Avengers' still very much in favor with audiences, I think there is huge potential there."




When it comes to the upcoming release of "Guardians of the Galaxy," Iger hopes for an "Avengers" turnout.




"I'm not going to predict that we've got another Avengers on our hands," he said. "But that's certainly the goal," the CEO said.




"Guardians" is scheduled to hit theaters in August. Marvel Studios have movies lined up until 2028.
