Martian Manhunter could possibly be done w/a much better costume.
Flash can be great if done right and I wouldn't mind seeing a really well done Shiva movie.
I don't think I understand that statement. He moves very very very fast and he hits people. I don't see the general public getting lost in the translation.
How can the avengers not be well known, especially in America!! "Look! It's Captain America!" Patriotism anyone????!! And this is coming from someone in New Zealand!
The majority of Americans have probably heard of him, but it's not like his comics are required reading if you want to become a citizen or something. I guaruntee 9 out of 10 people couldn't tell you his origin story, even in America. And he's STILL probably the most well known of the Avengers.
That's ridiculous. Either that or you have an extremely low opinion of the general intelligence of the movie going population. What's hard to believe about getting hurt by a guy throwing lightspeed punches?
And Wonder Woman needs to be done. People need to stop thinking she's a joke of a character.

I wasnt implyin reading the comics is a requirement for citizenship and the point of a movie would be to explain his origins. He being the most well known of the avengers is TOTAL crap. Ironman AND The Hulk are just as famous AND there are over 50 official members and over 50 honourary members to date including Spiderman, Wolverine, Beast and all of the fantastic 4.
Many, many characters shouldn't. Too many to name. However, these are what I've heard so far that are in production that I don't think should be:
Iron Fist - who cares.
Ant Man - ha.
Namor - c'mon, Aquaman is much cooler than him. Namor is gay.
Black Panther - MAYBE one film but don't make a trilogy or something.
Elektra - shouldn't have been done. She was ok for Daredevil but don't give her her own movie.
Luke Cage - not big enough, sorry pal.
Deadpool - I just don't see how they can make an entire film out of him. He's kinda cool but he should just be a part of an X-Men cameo or something.
What they SHOULD do, if they aren't getting the ball on it already (and some they are):
Flash - hurry up. Reynolds is perfect for Wally.
Green Lantern - I'd prefer Rayner but Jordan would be good too.
Iron Man - come on, he's a big character, its about time.
Captain America - revamp.
Thor - big character, give him a shot.
Wonder Woman - I don't love the character but she's very popular and deserves her own film, without a doubt.
Actually looking forward to the Silver Surfer Movie
I'm actually looking forward to the Silver Surfer movie, and think it's quite viable to pull off with either Mephisto and or Galactus (well of course Galactus has to be in the movie).
As for comic characters that should never ever have their own movie...my number choice would be Speedball
Mephisto is in Ghost Rider. Galactus would definitely be in SS. Hm....who the hell do you think could actually play Galactus??? I never thought about it
Funny how they'll make movies about characters from the 70's or later who didn't sell many comics, but not make movies of the more popular characters. That might be a good thing, though. Hollywood likes putting their own spin on things and ruin it for people who know the character before walking into the theater.
Some characters who I hope not to see in movies, in no particular order, are Booster Gold, Blue Devil, Drax the Destroyer, Speedball, and Justice. Just to name a few.....
Aquaman will always be a well known joke. He's about as cool as Jubilee. Namor's about 1000 times cooler than Aquaman. Have you ever seen a Namorlad? It doesn't get much gayer than aquaman.
He's a great character. Orange and green color schemes seem to bring out his feminine side though. I agree, Aquaman movie will tank. If you gave people a choice if they to either watch an Aquaman movie, or a Namor movie, 7 maybe 8 out of 10 people will go and watch Namor.
I am sorry for causing a little tension. My words don't have aim. In this case some superheroes need the presence of others not because one looks better or inferior but they work better as a team. We have Marvel and DC, each with their characters and never meant to collide. Captain America is a lonesome warrior that took his own choice and if we see him later with someone is because he is in the world not on the moon. For this very reason our heroes cannot make their ways permanently alone
You guys need to hear this. Having trouble introducing characters altogether? The Avengers CAN-sorry, make its (movie) way through. Are you familiar with Japan and how they keep the smart style of having a line with the image paused? That can be done in english. You see? It's a simple solution. Why burn our minds if we work as a team.
