13 Comic Book Films Stuck In Development Hell

More superhero films are being produced than ever before right now, with various franchises churning out multiple movies a year. Over at Disney, there’s the all-encompassing juggernaut that is the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Meanwhile, 20th Century Fox’s X-Men series is still going strong after sixteen years, and now we also have the burgeoning DC Extended Universe from Warner Bros.

Plans for another Hulk movie have been up and down ever since The Incredible Hulk arrived in 2008. Partly, this is because no one is exactly crying out for it – not even Marvel Studios themselves – but they couldn’t make one even if they wanted to.

The problem is that Marvel and Disney don’t have the full distribution rights for the character, as Universal still have a hold on the Jade Giant after their 2003 Hulk movie. As such, Marvel can only feature Bruce Banner as part of an ensemble. Hence Mark Ruffalo only appearing in The Avengers movies and Thor: Ragnarok. 

Maybe this one will happen someday, if the studios can come to an agreement.
