8 Superhero Teams We Still Need To See On The Big Screen

6) The Boys

Not all comic book team-up movies have to feature spandex-clad superheroes. For those feeling a little superhero fatigue, a film based on The Boys would be the perfect antidote.

A comic series originally published by DC imprint Wildstorm (before hopping over to Dynamite) and written by Preacher’s Garth Ennis, The Boys follows a group of highly-trained CIA agents as they take down rogue superheroes.

Unlike the ones we usually see, the super-humans in The Boys are reckless glory hounds; ticking time bombs waiting to go off. The team consists of such no-nonsense characters as cockney Billy Butcher, an ex-Mafia assassin known as The Female (of the Species) and Mother’s Milk, a huge, intimidating fella who is apparently the nicest of the bunch.

While there have been rumblings about the property being adapted for television, we think it’d be a better fit for the big screen. After all, movie studios looking for another ultra-violent, R-rated comic book film after Deadpool could do a lot worse than The Boys.
