You may see an improvement even with 1080p content on a 2160p display. I can zoom in on 720p content with my 720p display and make out more details. 480p DVD upscaled to 720p is a huge improvement on 480i on my old TV.
BDXl discs capable of holding up to 128 GB exist already; I already have a drive than can in theory read and write them. There's no technical reason standing in the way of a higher res disc. A very limited market, and DRM paranoia will probably get in the way. Maybe eccentric indy directors will just sell signed editions direct to fans or studios will do burn-on-demand. Although I suspect most catalog movies would need unaffordable amounts of restoration to be worthy of better than 1080p.
