As far as I know, there aren't any projects in the pipeline to field another air superiority platform in the next ~15 years.
You are correct in that there aren't any projects yet, but there is a plan. The big question will be whether or not we can afford it. We are so far behind the power curve on modernizing our force that you will see some aircraft flying way longer than ever intended. Don't be surprised to see the B-52 around past 2040.

Don't kid yourself. The F35 IS the replacement for the F15 and it IS the replacement for the A10 even though is absolutely incapable of performing either air superiority or CAS.
