I've seen a lot of interesting characters in especially Marvel's comics or Avengers Alliance that I think have potential to really shine in the MCAU. Who are some you'd like to see?

Well not part of the avengers, but Enchantress, Black Cat, and Wasp would be neat to see.

Does this have to be just MCU?

DC characters I want to see in movies are Hans von Hammer aka the Hammer of Hell from the Enemy Ace comic.

Ambush Bug would be awesome but general public might think he is a ripoff of Deadpool even though Ambush Bug premiered a good decade before Deadpool.

Demon Knights would be interesting because it would be set in a Medieval setting which other comic book movies haven't shown yet.

Batman Ninja more like Batman's Bizarre Adventure

Monica Rambeau. Karma (of the New Mutants). Pretty much any of the New X-Men. Monet St. Croix. Miss America. Wiccan and Hulkling. Kate Bishop. Finesse. Mettle. Hazmat. Phylla-Vell and Moondragon.

You know what? Let's just say "not Straight White Guys."

Exception made for Cannonball. Because Cannonball's great.

I'd like to see Dick Grayson (straight white guy, sorry) show up somewhere as Nightwing.

Wiccan, Hulking, and Kate Bishop would be great. There should be an animated series for YA at least. Moonstone would be a good villian for Captain Marvel. More of the Runaways would be good. Moon Knight. Enchantress should definitely be in Thor 3.

The only one I can think of off the top of my head is Agent Venom.

This is going to be a long list is it?

Here are characters who I think should have a movie (since that counts as see in a movie):

1. Martian Manhunter: He might appear in the JLA movie since he is a founding member and one of my favorites in the Justice League cartoon (emphasis on might seeing how the DCEU wants to be as close as the New 52 as possible). But if he is given a solo movie, I hope its plot is a combination of The Day The Earth Stood Still, ET, The Thing and Invasion of the Body Snatcher (four alien movies in one about a super hero alien).

2. Doom Patrol: Remember how Josh Trank has an awesome vision for the Fantastic Four? Honestly he seem to have confused the team with the Doom Patrol. I want to see that adaption, but with David Cronenberg helming the project; cause that would be awesome to see him adapt what is essentially a Darker and Edgier and Weirder Fantastic Four.

3. Legion of Super Heroes: Wow a lot of DC related films. Personally I blame Marvel for adapting so many of their works. But yeah, I want to see this team on the big screen (or at least a CW show).

4. Plastic Man: Remember when the Wachowski Bros. was going to direct this and have Keanu Reeves as the title role. Well I want that but replace those Bros with the Russo but keep Keanu as the star. It would be a good comedy film where the joke is (much like the original premise of the character) is that he is a completely serious hero whose powers is pretty much completely wacky in execution.

Now here are characters I want to see in a movie:

1. Any Superman villain not Luthor, Zod, or Superman Clone: Seriously, I want Braniac! I want Parasite! I want Metallo! I want Live Wire! I want Toyman! I want fucking Titano! Variety for god sake!

2. Any Wonder Woman villain: Seriously just any! Ares, Cheetah, Giganta, Dr. Psycho, Dr. Cypher, Dr. Poison (damn she has a bunch of Doctor villains), Circe, etc. I know she don't have the most popular Rogue Gallery, but for gods sake use the power of movies to get the audience interested in them. Their pretty good villains to face off a character like Wonder Woman.

3. Masters of Evil: It would be cool to see this team on screen. The question is how? Marvel have to 1) explain how these criminals came to be and 2) why Zemo wants to form the group in the first place especially after Civil War where he totally succeeded in his goal of destroying the Avengers as a team . . . my God this Zemo is more effective than the comics Zemo, and he is just a generic guy.

4. Mr. Sinister: The closest to an on screen Mr. Sinister is Ajax in that Deadpool movie. I seriously want to see this mad scientist brought to live as he is my favorite X-Men villain.

5. Alpha Flight: Continuing on X-Men, I want to see this Canadian team brought on screen. Maybe in that Wolverine sequel that would be a follow up to the events of Apocalypse, thank you Days of Future Past for giving the X-Men a clean slate.

6. One Punch Man: . . . . . Wait that's a manga character? Even so, would it be crazy if somebody attempt to make a live action adaption of that character? Man, the internet would be claiming that movie is a better version of Man of Steel (though considering the plot up to the alien invasion, it might as well).

7. Annihilus: The one villain I thought would of been used in that dreaded Fant4stic movie (and thank god he didn't, that movie turned into a real piece of shit that could of ruined him).

8. Adam Warlock: Please Marvel, make James Gunn include him in the movie damnit!

Assuming you mean live-action: Batwoman, the Birds of Prey, the Secret Six, both versions of the Question, Silk, Cassandra Cain, Spoiler, any of the original Guardians of the Galaxy... that's all off the top of my head. Any movie version of these characters that does them justice is fine by me.

I don't trust directors with making a decent Fantastic 4 movie anymore. Mr. Sinister definitely needs to be in a movie, he's awesome. I've heard speculation that they're considering Bryan Cranston to play him in an upcoming movie.

Beast boy, starfire, cyborg. Robin... Trigon. In fact I reckon DC could do a decent Teen Titans movie.

[up]x3 But Robin already appeared on screen. Three times. Four if Joseph Gordon-Levitt counts. And five once that new LEGO movie staring Bojack Horseman is released.

Not sure on the serials though. Did Robin appear on them? EDIT He did, so 6 (20 due to it being made of 15 films).

Also, Cyborg already made an appearance in the DCEU films so he is also off the live action Titans list.

Anyway speaking of live action portrayal of Titans: really want to see Aqualad and Donna Troy make a live action one. Though funny enough I kind of found the line-up for the Justice League to be more grown up versions of the original five Titans (except replace Speedy with Cyborg . . . this observation would of made more sense if Stephen Amell was in the movie).

[up] Possibly he's means Damien. Or possibly he's just not satisfied with Robin's previous portrayals on screen.

Interestingly, the first Batman movie serial was the only time Robin was portrayed by an actual teenager (Douglas Croft, then 16).

Monica Rambeau, without a doubt. If she's not in Captain Marvel, I will be very disappointed.

I'd like to see the Young Avengers, too. Not sure who I'd like to be in it, though. Kate Bishop, definitely, and I think Kamala'd be a good choice too. Not really sure who else, though. I know that Cassie's a popular choice, but I'm wondering if she's too young. Maybe a Time Skip...

Kid Loki would also be a good choice - kill him off in Infinity War, then reveal that he's reincarnated or something? I don't know how the character came about originally.

I'd really like to Wiccan and Hulkling (although I feel like Billy should get a new name), but it seems like their backstories might be too complicated for a straight adaptation, if not impossible.

I should note that I'm really only familiar with Kieron Gillen's run - I don't know much about the original Young Avengers team...

This is more of an event thing & while I know how fucking hard this would be, I would love to see the Blackest Night adapted to the big screen along with Black-Hand, Nekron & the entire Black Lantern army.

Seriously a superhero zombie invasion with Lantern powers would be fucking awesome.

Speaking of other Robins; Jason Todd and Tim Drake.

I am going to guess Tim might appear in the new movie and Jason will appear in the sequel adapting the Under the Hood story.

Also, BRANIAC! Seriously that is the one Superman villain I wish to see. Hopefully he appears in Man of Steel 2 with an introduction to Supergirl and the city of Kandor . . . I am expecting too much so I will just shift all that plot elements for the Supergirl show.
