9 Marvel And DC Supervillains And Anti-Heroes Who Deserve Their Own Movies

Now that arguably most of the major heroes from both the Marvel and DC universes have been brought to the big screen, movie studios are starting to turn to those less squeaky-clean comic book characters when looking for properties to build a film around.

After three failed attempts to make a good Fantastic Four movie, Fox are definitely on the right track with Doctor Doom by giving us a spinoff from Marvel’s First Family rather than another reboot. Following on from that, another tie-in movie they could do is a solo adventure for Silver Surfer. Back in the day, there was one in the works to follow 2007’s Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, but the mixed response to that movie put the dampers on the idea.

Apart from being a ridiculously cool-looking hero, Norrin Radd is such a rich character. The Surfer was once the herald of Galactus, choosing planets for the World Eater to munch on – wiping out whole civilizations in the process. Eventually, SS turned against his master and became a hero, protecting the universe instead of serving it up. With a brilliant anti-hero and a story that encompasses the whole universe, Fox could have a very special film on their hands if they let the character surf his way onto the big screen again.

Besides, fans really need to see a proper version of Galactus to get the sight of that awful cloud imposter from Rise out of our minds. Not to mention that Stan Lee is on board with the idea, too.
