There is no one future tense in English. There are 4 future forms. The one which is used most often in spoken English is going to, not will. We use going to when we want to talk about a plan for the future. Im going to see him later today. Theyre going to launch it next month. Were going to have lunch first. Shes going to see what she can do. Im not going to talk for very long. Notice that this plan does not have to be for the near future. When I retire Im going to go back to Barbados to live. In ten years time, Im going to be boss of my own successful company. We use going to when we want to make a prediction based on evidence we can see now. Look out! That cup is going to fall off. Look at those black clouds. Its going to rain soon. These figures are really bad. Were going to make a loss. You look very tired. Youre going to need to stop soon. We can replace going to go by going. Im going out later. Shes going to the exhibition tomorrow.
