The franchise addiction is well known. What changed in 2014 is that studios started publicly issuing product roadmaps. The next half decade of the comic book universes has been mapped out. (Disappointingly, Black Widow doesn't get an origin movie.) A chart: (http://wac.450f.edgecastcdn.net/80450F/comicsalliance.com/files/2014/10/CA_Supermovies_10-28-2014-21.jpg) This covers all the way up to the next Green Lantern movie in 2020. (The last Green Lantern dud will have been forgotten by then, like 2007's Spiderman 3).
Disney actually has a Crap Sequels Division, Disneytoons. For decades, they produced direct to VHS/DVD/BD sequels: Cinderalla 2, Mulan 2, etc., which could be found near the checkout in low-end retail stores. When Disney acquired Pixar, Disneytoons was phased out, and a number of designed-for-mediocrity projects cancelled. But it came back to life. Coming soon: Cars 3 and Tinker Bell and the Legend of the NeverBeast.
The only hope for novelty may be another big series in Young Adult books. Not much innovation there right now. The vampire and zombie books continue to come out. (Vampires down, zombies holding steady, based on bookshelf space in stores.) Teen survival stories are big, but they're mostly bad Hunger Games clones at this point. J. K. Rowling did the magical school thing so well that nobody else can compete. Greek mythology seems to have peaked outside the Marvel universe; the endless Percy Jackson trilogy stream is still coming out, but everybody is tired of it. Tom Clancy books are still coming out, even though he's dead and the ghost-writers suck.
As Comics Alliance says, "This is what the next five years of your life looks like."
