What would be your dream addition to the MCU?

Thunderbolts- I don't think anyone understands how much I want my white and pink haired Songbird on the screen with Moonstone being her magnificent bitchy self.

How about you?

Nova Corps? or possibly either the Guardians of the Galaxy based out of Knowhere or The Annihilators

I would like Spider-Man to be added to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As in, his movies actually tie in with the rest of the MCU. Right now I think Sony or some other company owns the rights to Spider-Man films, so there's not much chance of that happening any time soon.

Guardians of the Galaxy is already becoming part of the MCU. Last I checked, it was still in the casting stage.

Even though I actually liked The Amazing Spider-Man, I'd rather have it as part of the MCU. Couldn't care about Wolverine or the X-men though since they've been pretty stale to me. Though... Whedon could probably make me like them again. Even though he's kinda formulaic in characterization and plot, he makes those characters likeable.


The last Punisher film could fit right in though it was outright comical at times the way the villains talked.

I'd really like to see Dr. Strange (because Dormammu), Luke Cage, Deadpool, Elektra, Daredevil, a 'Good' Ghost Rider movie (one that isn't just Nick Cage doing whatever he wants), and at least some shout-outs to villains.

Hela and Sigyn as part of Ragnarok's storyline. Especially if they can get Eva Green to play Hela. The look she was sporting for the 300 sequel really made me think she would make a good Hela for some reason.

Given that most, if not all of the stuff you'd really like to see is actually coming down the pipeline in one way or another now, do you have anything else you'd like?

At this point I kinda want a Quasar movie, just so Marvel can stick it to DC super hard. More seriously, I think a good Ghost Rider film would be nice, and I'd be surprised if something with Kamala Khan isn't being thought about given her present popularity.

I'd like to see Adi Shankar Produce something for Marvel with Pete Travis directing. Given what they did with Dredd and a limited budget, I say let them have a Marvel property and decent budget, even if it's not something on the level of Avengers.

Those two could probably pull off a Venom project. Adi Shankar already has dabbled in it with Truth in Journalism. Though I wouldn't mind seeing them tackle something else either. Moon Knight, for example, seems right up their alley.

Moon Night would fall flat with all but the hardest-core of Marvel fans. The casual fan would see a ripoff of Batman and feel like the studio was either getting lazy or jumping the shark.

Not if it's done right. There's enough of an angle on it with him being legitimately insane and the Moon God, along with several interesting elements to him. The guy has several identities, a military history, a much meaner violent streak than Batman, living family including a psychotic brother who likes to chop people up with a meat cleaver, and in all honesty he's more like The Shadow than Batman.

It's a property that has enough interesting elements, including a supernatural angle, that it could work if put to film by the right people. I think Adi Shankar is a guy who could pull it off.

Moon Knight only comes off as a Batman clone if it's done lazily and ignores the lore in favor of a generic vigilante story. Marvel has a pretty good track record of not doing that with movies over the past several years.

Also, like I said, I could see Adi and Pete doing a good, if not great, job on a Venom project too.

An MCU tied in Punisher might be a good fit for the two of them as well. Blade is another decent possibility as it would really need to be R rated, Punisher would be best that way as well. Ghost Rider is another possibility that's likely getting an MCU reboot in the future that would fit with either of the film makers.

Any of those movies could be given a decent, but smaller than the big blockbuster films budget, and get tied into the rest indirectly for older fans and probably do all right in theaters.

Better chance of that happening if Deadpool is a success as an R rated film and it won't be anytime soon no matter what.

I don't see any of those as a 'main' project, but rather as one of the side movies that ties into the rest of the universe, but really doesn't need to be there to hold the whole thing up either. Some of those might work to forward Marvel's larger plans because with Dr. Strange they're introducing the mystical side of the Marvel Universe into the movies. Moon Knight, Blade, or Ghost Rider would all work well to expand on that either as films or as series in the vein of what Netflix is doing right now.
