10 Most Intriguing Marvel Movies That Were Never Made

Before the Marvel Cinematic Universe was formed, and Marvel started making one or two films a year, many movies based on the company’s characters had failed to come to fruition over the decades.

Silver Surfer

One of the most unlikely unmade Marvel movies ever is this Silver Surfer film that was touted back in the 80s. The plan was for it to be a rock opera written by none other than Paul McCartney!

Also attached was Xanadu’s Lee Kramer while Grease’s Oliva Newton-John was set to star. Kramer said of the project: “We’re going to make an epic picture on the scope of 2001: A Space Odyssey with the kind of soundtrack that that film had, only using contemporary rock and roll.”

While it all sounds completely ridiculous, there is some sanity to it – McCartney is a huge comic book fan and once wrote a song inspired by Marvel characters for his band Wings called ‘Magneto and Titanium Man.’

Whether it would have been any good or not, we’re really jealous of the parallel universe out there where this actually happened.
