on the big screen, let's see who should go solo in the future, why bother trying another attempt to remake the Fantastic Four when there is a character better to focus on? Doom walks in the shadows of the two Fantastic Four franchises in which we serve as the main villain, but he doesn't develop enough to really become a compelling part of the film.

His history and meaning in Marvel Comics goes much deeper. The Doom movie would be a major event for the MCU and the villain has taken on many more characters than just the Fantastic Four. A movie could follow Doom's origins, his rise to power and covers some of the more sinister things he's done over the years. behind the evil mask and how he got that way, the origin story was able to explore the original Marvel story where Dooms Face was born and went into the mountains to discover that the entire suit and story could function as a villain version of Iron Man and Doctor Doom could serve as a true big bad for the entire MCU, his power is undeterred, he has incredible suit powers and a solo movie could really delve into his ability to manipulate others with his powerful knowledge of psychology. as Robert Pattinson prepares for his role.

Like Bruce Wayne, we're gearing up for another solo Batman movie, but why have another Batman movie when we could have a man-bat movie? Think about it for a second, if the Aquaman spin-off The Trench manages to be a hit, then Warner. The brothers can look for more ways to mix superheroes and horror. Well, Man-bat is your answer. There are multiple directions to go with Man-bat and all of them would be amazing. The psychological fight between Kurt Langstrom and his bat DNA serum would be a great solution. The story of Jekyll and Hyde is a tragic story that centers on her son's illness after his daughter was born with some of the bat's DNA.

There was even a time when Batman played a hero in Action Comics and came to the aid of Superman of all people. With the right effects and a moody atmosphere of Gotham, a psychological horror could adopt themes from classic monster movies. from Universal, but set in the world of DC Comics, the key to making Batman a success would be in the character's appearance, all so that realistic CG could turn him into a truly terrifying creature or something too cartoony. Just thinking about poison ivy on the big screen has probably evoked some pretty bad memories of poison ivy from Batman and Robin, but let's dig that wilted weed out of the yard and start over.

The Poison Ivy character is an iconic part of DC Comics and there are plenty of stories to tell with her, even if Batman isn't involved. Wild Oats says that most of the film could take place in Seattle Ivy's hometown, where she was previously known as Dr. Pamela Lillian Isley's origin stories have been done before, so a film based on the Poison Ivy story could see the villain at the center of the Batman classic titled Arkin's No Man's Land in Gotham history being destroyed by a earthquake and an IV uses his powers. turning one of the parks into a tropical oasis.

Enemy IV in the movie would be Clayface, another villain we would love to see on the big screen. A little extra care could really help this movie grow. Imagine if Joker and Rise of the Planet of the Apes combined to tell the epic story of a gorilla fighting to keep his hidden city alive. The result would be Gorilla Grodd, a possible solo movie that follows, you guessed it, a telepathic gorilla. Grodd is one of the most interesting villains in The Flash and the Giant. Primate has appeared in multiple episodes of The CW television series Flash. We've already seen what motion capture and incredible CG could do for the Planet of the Apes, so giving Gorilla Grodd his own story would be a no-brainer, most of the movie could take place in Gorilla City while Grodd Fight for power, try to keep the peace and prevent invaders from taking over the city limits.

The expansive story could be really compelling and delve into the psyche of the gorilla in the new 52 Grodd often defied his father King Garage and The power struggle between father and son is another classic narrative arc that we would love to see on the big screen despite the cheesy puns about ice, snow and everything frozen. The dramatic possibilities of the gentleman cannot be denied. Freezing origin story we glimpsed in the 1997 Batman and Robin disaster The Iceman Cometh Mr. Freeze is a man desperate to find a cure for her sick wife and he would take any measure to help save and cure her.

His journey down the moral path of good and evil would be a great story to tell, even deeper than the story involving his wife, there is a more recent story involving Mr. freeze using his technology to free an army of fighters from cryogenic stasis just imagine the chaos and havoc he could wreak on Gotham City as this story follows, one of the most popular villains in the Spider-Man and Dardevil universe is Kingpin Kingpin works as a character well enough that he not only appears as the main villain several times, but could also carry his own movie to help make Kingpin a main character we can connect with.

Marvel writers may consider taking elements from their Return of the King arc into the story. Kingpin tries to clean up his life by living in a small fishing village while things don't go exactly as planned when his wife and two children are brutally attacked. The story of redemption and revenge could suit the character well and show why he eventually returns. A Life of Crime also included an extended story arc that sends the kingpin to San Francisco and we'd love to see the character try to take over the city and rebuild his entire criminal empire. We wouldn't mind seeing Vincent D'Onofrio return either.

For the role, whether it's Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness already in the works, it's clear that Marvel is ready to step outside the realm of straightforward superhero stories and try things a little different with that mind, enter the puppeteer and no, we are. We're not talking about those low-budget horror movies where the little puppet has a hook for a hand, we're talking about the Marvel villain who is capable of making little puppets of heroes like the Fantastic Four and controlling each of their movements, we already saw how the spider. -man into the spider-verse showed a variety of animation styles all mixed into one, well a puppeteer movie could do the same.

One of the strangest and most memorable story arcs involving the Puppeteer was when he created small puppets of multiple heroes and made them all live in the miniature city of Little Vil using advanced technology, he was able to transfer their bodies and souls into the little one. city ​​and complete its master plan. Basically, he imagines the epic Train Set fight between Ant-Man and Yellowjacket, but on a much larger plane. scaling a mix of stop motion CG and other animated elements could be combined to make Little Bill come to life. He may not be as well-known as other villains, but Puppeteer could work as a fun and inventive movie if you thought Joker pushed the boundaries.

In a deep and dark story, imagine how far Scarecrow's story could go. The main focus of the characters is to bring out people's worst fears and Dr. Jonathan Crane's life has many stories to tell, remember how epic all of Mysterio's hologram scenes were in Spider-Man Far From Home, well , imagine they multiplied even more with Scarecrow's fear gas spreading among the citizens of Gotham City. He is truly one of DC Comics' scariest villains and giving him his own movie has the potential to create an instant classic as part of DC's rebirth story. The Scarecrow releases some of his fear toxins around Christmas, mixing the joy of the holidays with the Scarecrow's horror. could create a lethal combination and many interesting story arcs as we discover Crane's true fears and get to know the character on the big screen like we've never seen before and, instead of Batman facing the Scarecrow, a character like Robin. or Nightwing could lead the way and provide someone to take on the Scarecrow with a genius intellect, a violent past, and the ability to take on some of DC's greatest heroes.

Prometheus may not be a household name in the world of

comic

s, but he could serve as an interesting movie character. The villain had an outstretched bow in the show's Arrow, but his mysterious past and the anonymous man behind the mask in the

comic

s could create a great mystery movie, we can meet all kinds of potential subjects in some kind of whodunnit superhero movie. Going deeper to discover the origins of Prometheus would be an interesting story that could even serve as a road trip movie of sorts visiting some of DC's most popular fictional cities, such as the metropolis of Gotham and Star City.

The characters' key ghost story could even introduce some teleportation abilities and the ability to send others to a dimension known as the ghost zone willy-nilly without any major superhero powers. A gritty, low-budget film featuring the character has the potential to turn heads and create a surprise hit. It took Marvel a long time before they finally got on board. In her first solo female superhero movie with Captain Marvel and now with Black Widow set for release in 2020, why stop the female-driven tree now, instead of focusing on heroines, the MCU could pivot towards a female villain. , mainly a lady, death, surely it can be? just an abstract entity but she has had a huge impact on Marvel Comics throughout the Infinity War saga.

The lady served as one of Theosis' main motivations. Her ultimate goal was simply to impress her and she did everything she could to achieve this goal. a point where Deadpool and Thanos were in a love triangle with the dangerous entity, her appearance could come in many forms, including an attractive woman or perhaps just a skeleton in a cape, a character with no morals, and a focus on destruction. pure would be scary. and interesting story that could see the disappearance of multiple MCU heroes. Marvel Studios has made a lot of things work on the big screen before and we would love to see this entity come to life.

Well, there you have it, our complete list of movies we are ready for. See which one you'd like to see with more cool villains we missed. Let us know in the comments below and don't forget to subscribe to Screen Rant for more great content, thanks for watching.
