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

1) Namor

Marvel fans have been questioning for years now why Namor the Sub-Mariner has never popped his head above the water for an appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The reason is likely to do with rights issues, but it could also be because the studio don’t know how to make such a douchey character likable. We say that they shouldn’t worry about that though and just cast the King of Atlantis (no, not Aquaman) in his own anti-superhero movie.

The interesting thing about Namor is that he continually flip-flops between being an ally to Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and their enemy. The merman’s general dislike of land-dwellers always makes him a difficult partner even when he’s fighting the good fight, but mostly he doesn’t care what happens to the rest of the world as long as the sea and its inhabitants are all right. And he has good reason to act this way – he hates humanity because Atlantis was destroyed due to nuclear testing.

As perhaps Marvel’s oldest character – he hails from the company’s original incarnation as Timely Comics and debuted in 1939 (that’s two years before Captain America) – Namor really deserves to join the pantheon of Marvel movie heroes.
