12 Marvel And DC Characters That Still Need Their Own Movie

Spider-Man 2099

We still can’t say for sure if the upcoming Spider-Man reboot starring Tom Holland satiates fans, but if it fails, there’s always a future incarnation of Spidey to turn to. Yup, we’re talking about Spider-Man 2099.

Sporting one of the cooler suits in superhero history, 2099 is not Peter Parker at all, but a geneticist named Miguel O’Hara living in a future dystopian society. Miguel sets about recreating Spider-Man’s abilities and soon faces off against familiar arch-enemies with a futuristic twist.

The character has garnered a cult following since his unveiling in 1992’s memorable origin story and with a suit this goddarn slick, it’d be fascinating to see future Spidey on screen.

Namor

Marvel’s answer to Aquaman is Namor The Sub-Mariner, a son of Atlantis and long-standing fixture of Marvel lore since his unveiling in 1939. A Namor movie has been tentatively in the works for years, but nothing has come to fruition yet – though that may soon change.

With the upcoming Aquaman set to be released in 2018, the time is nigh for a motion picture that explores Namor’s complex and often unsavoury character. Could we get a Marvel vs DC style face-off with Namor pitted against Aquaman? That’s unlikely, but if Jason Mamoa’s underwater adventure is a success with audiences, expect Marvel to want a piece of the action, too.
