I don't if all of you are not being serious or you just don't know, but he's got a movie. Ryan Reynolds is playing him. It's a done deal. It's happening right now.Boom129 said:

Captain Marvel, not the crappy Marvel version, I wanna see and hear a kid scream SHAZAM and get turned into a powerhouse.
Oh and Fables would be amazing, but I see that more as a television series.

I would rather them take a break from comic movies, there are just way to many of them and I'm getting sick of them coming out.
Dr Strange already had a movie, it was a half-assed animated fair, but he had one. I suppose something better could be done with him if the effort was made and the casting was right, but out of all on the list there I think Strange is the most likely to be a flop.
Side note: why does it always have to be Marvel? What about DC (or to a lesser extent, it's offspring Vertigo)? I personally would love to see "Witchblade VS The Darkness" up in live-action glory because there's such a huge amount of mythos to draw on.
We've seen how well "V" did, I think DC have it in them to have another go.

Ares (from Marvel), seriously this would be a great film. Basically the plot of the mini-series where his son gets kidnapped combined with elements from the later mighty/dark avengers. Plus Thor already grounds the concept of alien/magic/science gods existing.
Ares has retired from being the god of war, after being scorned by his fellow gods for his brutality (shown in a battle at the start), to raise his demi-god son on earth. His son gets kidnapped by Mikaboshi, a Japanese god who has incited war between different pantheons. Ares has to kick arse and take names to get him back, unbeknownst to him Mikaboshi is grooming his son to be a new god of war.
You'd take the idea of this world weary fighter who is not a hero just a father trying to save his son. You'd have flashbacks that would show Ares doesn't have a nice past (stuff like fighting alongside SS storm troopers or barbarians burning down Rome).
He'd have the misoygnistic wise cracks, such as:
"You are a fine specimen"
"Oh my god"
"Yes...I am"
There'd be his rant (from the most recent mini) on how he knows the sound of an elephant dying, platemail buckling and can identify every kind of shrapenel. Along with his stating "I may be the god of war...but I am not the god of sadism!" when he fights Mikaboshi.
Also this film could be somehow connected to a Hercules and Amadeus Cho film, which is another great film that could be made, he's the strongest god teamed up with the smartest human. But there would need to be a bunch of other hero films so it doesn't look like Marvels just spamming reinvented mythology.

My top comics to be made into films, though?
1. Hack/Slash (Because honestly, it's time there was an attractive, female answer to Ash. They could even have an actual B-Queen play Cassie)
2. Incognito (Zeppelins, a witness protection program for superheroes, and an awesome arc)
3. Hitman (D.C. Universe meets Gun-movies head-on)
4. Pretty much any limited Warren Ellis has ever done
And finally, when in Sheol will they make a damn Preacher miniseries or movie? It's the most violent and vicious and yet touching and heartfelt horror comic I've currently read (The Goon comes close, but edges out its touching and heartfelt nature for more viciousness...also, The Goon is in development), and yet it languishes in development hell while they churn out crap like Jonah Hex.
I think it would have to be a miniseries, there's a lot of stuff that while essential would just drag a movie out. The Boys is probably an easier concept to translate to film.TetsuoKaneda said:
Well, true, but everyone pooh-poohs The Boys because of the way it presents everything. There is a Boys movie being made, but I really don't think it'd work, what with the extremity it requires. Also, I can't see Adam McKay (who was last pointed to as the director) as doing it proper...I kinda feel like Guy Ritchie or Edgar Wright would do a better job.
I guess but I definitely think it could be a success in the same vein as Kickass.I hadn't thought of it, but I'd definitely want Guy Ritchie to do it.TetsuoKaneda said:
I would love to see a Heroes For Hire movie made. One that doesn't just feature Luke Cage, but also Iron Fist, Misty Knight, and Coleen Wing as principle characters. The whole thing could be styled after blaxsploitation and classic kung fu cinema, with an Issac Hayes-esque soundtrack to boot. Try to picture Black Dynamite and the A-Team mashed together, and you're on the right track.
Wouldn't it be great to have Xavier as psychic, Richards as Scientist, Stark as Engineer, Strange as spiritulist and Luke Cage and Iron Fist as muscle. Being a hero would be awesome with the right friends.
Wouldn't exactly make a blockbuster movie but Heroes for Hire would be awesome as an action comedy. Luke Cage as a washed-up blacksploitation hero(Power Man) goes into business with a mystical ninja(Iron Fist) and hijinx ensue with other B rate characters owned by the same studio.

Two things with Luke Cage that would be great in the film:JayDig said:
1. Him getting thrown off the roof of a building during a fight, then catching the elevator back up while playing elevator music.
2. Him listening to his ipod during a fight.
I'd love to see Doc Samson. Kinda like Marvel making their own parody movie.
Don't think it's ever going to happen though.
I´d go with something more obscure than the mainlisters from the Marvel or DC universe. The two that spring to my mind are Manhunter (Kate Spencer) and Shi (Ana Ishikawa).
It´d need a good reworking of Manhunter´s story to make it work though, as the entire JSA and a large assortment of other DC stand by´s hopped in and out of her book. But the main premise of the federal prosecutor who takes justice into her own hands when an obviously guilty supervillain goes free is so stupidly obvious its a miracle its not been done a million times over yet. It might feel a bit too much like Dare Devil in reverse but hey, that movie tanked so the spot´s free for the taking. She's also got enough decent plotlines in her short comic book run to make any kind of angle work (she's a mom, is divorced, was adopted, her real father is a villain, blackmailed a guy in the witness protection system to get her gear, oh yeah, she kills the villain, etc.).
Shi on the other hand requires no super powers thus very little budget, has been in production about five times before (Tia Carrera was up for the part at one point) and as a revenge story is also too obvious to pass up on (it´s practically an American Yakuza schtick). Just tone down that costume some.

Let's not forget that while most ideas in the thread are great, they will remain just pipe dreams if the movies already on production fail to meet their respective companies' profit expectations.
If I had to choose one movie to get made, that would be Kingdom Come. But that's obviously way outside what's budgetable for a Hollywood movie.
