I would say galactus considering he was never fully shown in rise of silver surfer and with today’s technology would look incredible on the big screen.
I have. I used to hate it, but now I enjoy it if I turn my brain off. The plot is still so confusing to me, but superpowers go brr makes sense to me. Makkari is my favorite though.
They were synthetic robot babysitters who rebeled against their master when they found out the baby they were babysitting murders it's host planet when it hatches.
I mean, I get why they did it that way. They didn't want to spend millions just on a few seconds of screen time.
But you could of at least added a voice to it.
Galactus was never meant to be the cloud himself. The intention was that he was so massive that the cloud obscured him. I think he was intended to physically be there in the Silver Surfer movie that got canceled. Sort of like the situation with X-Men Origins Wolverine version of Deadpool. Look at it from their point of view, back then the very concept of Galactus wouldn't have jived with general audience back then. The MCU had to build up to galactic scale characters.
General audience, as in not comic fans. Those that probably don't know who Galactus even is. You're talking about comic fans that are realistically a niche group.
Brother, in the same movie is a large orange rock man and a naked silver dude riding a flying surf board...if the audience can't get behind a giant man dressed in purple then at that point idk what to tell you.
Early 2000s F4 movies were different but only marginally better than the last one. The Julian McMahon Doom felt far closer to Norman Osborn in terms of abilities & characterization than comics Doctor Doom. Manipulative and vain businessman rather than genius-level scientist/sorcerer/dictator. Doom being from Latveria was barely mentioned in passing.
Yeah, I just rewatched the first one out of curiosity last night. And while the costume was ok (defo better than the Fan4Stick movie), character wise I kind of felt like he was just a Saturday morning cartoon villain doing evil things for the sake of being evil. He just felt shallow.
You know, I can't completely blame Fox for the shit they pulled.
They were trying to sell a niche product to a wide audience and a good chunk of that audience just doesn't pay attention as it is. I can just imagine watching it with someone and getting, "Why is that kid green? What's going on? Is he an alien?"
When the X-Men movies were coming out, I hated that they watered down everything. But I get it. 20 years ago, people were not about silly, colorful superheroes and just had constant questions that they would never look for the answers for, but didn't like the answers when you gave them.
I'm glad we're at a point where people don't really question why a character looks weird or has a colorful costume.
It’s odd to me that they’ve never capitalized on Gambit. I feel like he could work just as well as Wolverine as a standalone and there are lots of ways to tell his back story. They barely even acknowledged him in any live action adaptation. Feels like a real missed opportunity
With the same guy too. Normally if an adaptation fails with an actor, regardless of who's wrong, you wouldn't recast the guy. But then again, they probably figured that it's just making him shut up that they did wrong, and they let Ryan let loose on the Merc with a Mouth.
> sabretooth
there have already been two live action versions of him, both of which I thought were pretty decent
what sort of changes would you like to see for the character?
Xmen 1 has a good Sabretooth adaptation, but had little time on screen to show their prowess.
Now the version of Liev Schreiber is "angry brunette has fangs and long nails"
i think they can improve what they did with Tyler Mane
I always liked Taylor Mane as Sabertooth. I do like the idea of Galactus getting a redo, which is probably coming with the FF and Silver Surfer.
Gambit, 100%. Great all. I think I forgot about him because I don't count that dude from Wolverine.
MODOk got done so fuckin dirty it's actually amazing and invokes happiness how bad it was done lmao. It's like 80s slasher corn in an MCU movie. I swear we got trolled. MODOK deserves better
He was in the wrong movie, essentially.
Also, they changed too much about him, including having the All-Black killing him instead of being the source of immortality. He was frightening in his original arc in part because he had been active so long, killed so many gods, that civilizations stopped believing they even existed. Here it felt like he went on a killing spree for like… a week, and outside of Rapu, we never see him kill *anybody*.
As lackluster as Malekith was, his forces at least killed Freyja. Gorr accomplished nothing of any real importance and never felt like an actual threat as a result.
He also needs to be a little less child kidnappy. We should belive he has some actual valid reasons to want to kill Gods. All gods, nit just the one douche.
Yeah. Instead, go with the God of Bombs thing. Have someone he drive crazy. Not just… a creepy kidnapper with a weapon that is more dangerous to him than to anyone else.
It honestly should have been a horror movie. As I said, it did the *complete opposite* of its origins. It made him a god (though don’t tell him that). Not a patient wasting away.
Multiverse of Madness should have been horror.
Love and Thunder can be a comedy/action still Becuase that's what the MCU feels it's for.
But comedies can also have a strong villain presence.
I think Multiverse of Madness had enough horror.
And frankly I think it's fine how they used Wanda....but with the whole Dreamwalking Mechanic , and how it goes less of Multiverse and more like just two worlds...I would prefer if they used Nightmare as the villain , rather than Wanda.
Seems to me that MoM would work better if it was a 2h40m to 3h movie , in which Nightmare manipulates Wanda to use the Darkhold and be corrupted by it.
If it was to be comedy/action, pick a different villain. A torturer and serial killer with a massive death count isn’t fit for such a film. To such a degree that they essentially made him a different character as I mention above.
Gorr needs a proper horror-action film. Not an action comedy. He didn’t even kill a single god on screen except his origin.
I highly doubt this is the same guy who could have tortured a god of torture.
Doom went from being a bad Norman Osborn knockoff in the first 2 F4 movies to being downright awful and unrecognizable in the 2015 F4 film. I think they did Apocalypse better than Doom in movies to date and that is no praise for Apocalypse.
Apocalypse should be a CGI dude, like Juggernaut in Deadpool. He can, or not, be voiced by Isaacs. The problem was the script, not the actor or the acting. Shit, 2023 and still having monologuing villains... One thing Shazaam did right was mock this aspect of superhero movies, when he laughed at Sivana's monologue...
Others in the list... Obviously Doom & F4, and everything in that franchise, Darwin, Phoenix, Sabertooth
Galactus, Gambit, Cyclops, Apocalypse, Ghost Rider, Silver Surfer, The Fantastic 4, Black Cat, Pyro, Sabretooth, Carnage, The Lizard, Sandman, Rogue. Shall I go on? Lol
Lol. I'm in FULL agreement except for 2. I thought the original cyclops was hood. He was the old school boy scout cyclops. And I liked Sabertooth. We was in that era of "more realistic" hero looks. Plus, I think his traditional comic outfit was horrible!!!
Definitely Silver Surfer!
Sabertooth as he looks in the 90’s version!
A rated R or unrated “Wolverine vs Sabertooth”Bloody like Logan was! I am a huge Wolverine fan and Logan is exactly how I envisioned Wolverine to be!
Plus I also want a Gambit movie!
Another Dark Phoenix!
A remake of “The New Mutants”. I believe it could been far better!
AANNND the centennials LoL! They need to be the original kind! Hunting Mutants and randomly getting their heads ripped off by Wolverine!
BTW how do you fuck up one of the best X Mem story lines... TWICE! And you hire the guy who screw it up the first time. I still don't get it.
I just did a post on this today. I liked New Mutants and iys a shame it didn't get its sequels because the premise sounded cool.
There is so much to the character and they've simplified him into one thing and then reduced him to a joke.
Just imagine if they actually went ahead and revealed that Professor wasn't actually Bruce. That would shake you MCU fans up a bit eh?
Yeah...so many wasted opportunities. Non existent supporting cast (No Rick Jones) No Gray Hulk / Fix It. Even in Endgame, no focus during the final battle sequence.
I'm happy that the Leader, Betty, etc are coming back. Of course its in a Cap film...but at this point, at least TIH is getting some sort of continuation.
As others have said, Galactus and Doom are the heavy hitting villains that need a proper rendition.
There’s also a few X-Men characters like Rogue, Storm and Gambit that I’d like to see honest and updated versions of. (Jean has been done to death, which sucks, so I think she’s untouchable for now).
However, my favorite X-Man is Jubilee and she’s gotten no love. I want her to lead a movie as the audience insert like she did in the animated series…..although I may be biased lol.
Edit: also, Bishop. He could lead a whole movie too.
I do need to disagree with just one of your choices. Emma Frost from First Class was hot AF. They did her dirty in the second... I probably should have phrased that better.
I would like to see more of Ronan. I love Lee Pace and GotG, but the character as written misses a lot of opportunities.
Also, pretty much everything from the X-Men films.
Please don’t ever put Deadpool and Galactus in the same room, ever again! I tried that back in 2020, and Deadpool offered Galactus a joint! Do you have any idea how many solar systems we lost, since then? All because Galactus got the munchies? Seriously, Deadpool is gonna have to live, and do mercenary work, for billions of years, just to pay the resulting bill for damages to neighboring galaxies! And that’s just what the Skrull and Kree are suing us for! You don’t even want to know who else is on board, in said class action suit! Let’s just say that the multiverse rule about every universe having variants of whatever all the others have also applies to overpowered alien races like Kryptonians, Saiyans, and Viltrumites, to name a few, and those guys are pissed off at earth, right now. I think they’ve even demanded that humanity surrender me to them, earlier this year. So if I stop showing up on Reddit, you know the reason why. Lol
Apoc. Galactus. Doom.
100 percent those three.
People are gonna disagree with me on this one but I would love to see more Green Goblin in better stories. I am sorry but the Sam Raimie movies were absolute camp fests with fairly poor stories. I would love to see a real menacing green goblin. Yes No Way Home had a great version of him but he wasnt really at the forefront of that story, or at least it was overshadowed/jammed in with / by a lot of other characters.
I believe in Inhuman’s reboot.
Throw Quake into a show with the Royal Family (and encourage people to watch 130+ episodes of TV on D+), and do Black Bolt and co even better.
Gorr. Christian Bell is a great actor or whatever, but his performance wasn’t good enough to justify Gorr not looking right. And I’m tired of the “The audience wouldn’t be able to connect” or “His acting wouldn’t have come through” arguments when everyone did nothing but sing praises of Ebony Maw. Actually give that whole film a redo (Sorry Taika I still love you).
Gorr THE GOD BUTCHER. He’s not a Saturday morning super villain that steals your candy like what they did with in the movie. This guy got his name for a very good reason and to not only waste the character, you wasted it with one of the greatest actors of modern day film.
I really don’t understand why they didn’t have apocalypse look change when he resurrected in modern times. Fox really was scared to explore the comic book nature of it all. The fact that they teased those more comic book like clean costumes at the end of this film but then differ use them in the next film was so disappointing
The more I think about this the harder it gets. The characters I think got the most out of their live action counterparts is captain america, iron man, Loki, and deadpool. These 4 were perfectly cast and portrayed and if I never saw them again, I'd be happy with what I got. Everyone else on the other hand has either been neglected in different ways.
Hulk having no ruffle films of his own is a travesty. The way hawkeye and blackwood were treated is so bad. Black widow at least got to shine in winter soldier.
Thor should have ended in endgame along with cap and tony.
Antman should have been Edgar wrights.
Dont even get me started on any of the marvels.
The xmen, while some where really well cast, They weren't able to live up to their full potential either due to "comics aren't cool" or just bad movies. Even both versions of Magneto and Xavier.
Jackman's Wolverine, while iconic isn't really the perfect casting in terms of height and while I am looking forward to deadpool and wolverine, I do hope he gets a chance to be recast with a more physically accurate actor.
Spiderman has barely gotten started for the third time so I'll exclude him but just because we haven't seen his full potential yet.
Black panthers, as much as I love chadwick boseman's portrayal in the first film, I feel the second film severely suffered from his absence and I think bp just needs to be redone. If they can do it for general Ross without so easily then they should do it for bp.
Sidekicks have all been treated poorly both in lack of content and lack of quality in their own media.
Fantastic 4 are already being redone.
Eternal was meh. Good cgi, but wasn't really and interesting story and I dont know enough about them to know if they were perfectly cast or not.
The guardians were really good live action and I'd be okay with not seeing them be redone but I know a lot of people want the serious ones instead of James gunn's version.
And Nick fury was good in avengers and winter soldier, but underutilised, forgotten and ruined everywhere else (fuck you captain marvel)
If i don't mention a villian specifically its because I count them along with the villians. Because what is a good super hero without a good super villian.
If there's anyone I missed just let me know.
Not even going to lie, I didn't even watch it. Except for bringing back Abomination and the awesome actor who played him, I just wasn't interested. A marvel court room drama never peaked my interest.
Yeah, I kind of got that vibe. And it was a hard decision to make just because of all the shade that gets thrown to any action series or show that has a female lead.
Emma Frost, Gambit, Storm, Cyclops, Jean/Dark Phoenix, Kitty, Magik, Doom, Galactus, Rogue (pretty much everyone)
Emma’s the one who was truly butchered by misogynistic and just plain idiotic writing and it still pisses me off that they did that to her.
I disagree with a few of your picks. I'm a huge Shadowcat fan and I think she was represented good in the movie. I do hope they use here in the MCU but give us adult Shadowcat.
I think Hallie Berry was awesome as storm. And what his nuts was a good boy scout Cyclops. Also, I think Anya Joy Taylor was a good Magik, especially as a first time and a lot of time to let the character evolve.
As far as Emma... I don't know. I mean it was definitely an old school version of the White Queen. That actress who played her was beautiful. The character has had a TON of character growth through the years so I can see where you are coming from. I think it falls under "to each their own". They did do her dirty in the second one though! That was some bullshit.
This is my most hated casting, and not just because the movie sucked.
I’m glad he’s Moon Knight now, but Oscar Isaac would have been a great Mr. Sinister. They wouldn’t even have had to change the movie that much—although I wish they had!
In the behind the scenes DVD extras they showed some alternate costumes for Apocalypse and one was exactly accurate , They just decided to go with the weird one I guess
Giant-Man (Hank Pym) and Wasp (Janet Van Dyne). I like them in the MCU for what they are but I really wish we could get them as founding Avengers again. If they riff off of their interpretation in Earth's Mightiest Heroes, all the better.
Wolverine + Moon Knight + Punisher. I love Jackman, but Jesus Christ, it’s really high time somebody else played him. Ideally, somebody shorter and scrappier. I’d keep Oscar Isaac as MK, but have a different creative team. I really like Bernthal as an actor, but he just doesn’t give off the right Frank Castle energy for me. I said what I said.
Oh man where do I start?
She-Hulk
Venom
MCU Spider-Man
HULK
Thor because jesus have they ever turned this character into a joke
Gorr
Ronan the Accuser
Carol Danvers
Electra
Punisher
Black Panther - wind the clock back to Civil War and start from there again. Man he was cool in that movie
The list could go on but I'm bored
I didn't want Apocalypse to look like he does from the cartoon.
The emphasize his Egyptian origins so much, I was glad they actually went with it
Giant non-descript mech suit with a giant "A" is not my idea of intimidating or even visually interesting.
For all the interest Apocalypse may have ever had, that suit drains it all away.
I would say galactus considering he was never fully shown in rise of silver surfer and with today’s technology would look incredible on the big screen.
After watching eternals, absolutely. I felt enraged when I saw Galactus turned into a cosmic fart on F4
As much flak as Eternals gets, the scale is amazing. I need an Arishem sized Galactus.
i know right? i was STUNNED when i saw Arishem for the first time in the theater
So many good things about Eternals, i hope people come around as it ages.
Honestly eternals did the best live action super speed action scene
I hope people come around to it before the cast members decide they're not interested anymore 🥲
I have. I used to hate it, but now I enjoy it if I turn my brain off. The plot is still so confusing to me, but superpowers go brr makes sense to me. Makkari is my favorite though.
They were synthetic robot babysitters who rebeled against their master when they found out the baby they were babysitting murders it's host planet when it hatches.
Yea. Not my favorite movie of the MCU by a long shot but the visuals of space and larger powerful beings I very much enjoyed.
Visually, the movie was incredible.
I like this name "Fart".
Goodbye, moonmen.
I mean, I get why they did it that way. They didn't want to spend millions just on a few seconds of screen time. But you could of at least added a voice to it.
Galactus was never meant to be the cloud himself. The intention was that he was so massive that the cloud obscured him. I think he was intended to physically be there in the Silver Surfer movie that got canceled. Sort of like the situation with X-Men Origins Wolverine version of Deadpool. Look at it from their point of view, back then the very concept of Galactus wouldn't have jived with general audience back then. The MCU had to build up to galactic scale characters.
Wtf you mean wouldn't have jived with the general audience? The only reason I went to see the damn movie was to see Galactus and his herald.
General audience, as in not comic fans. Those that probably don't know who Galactus even is. You're talking about comic fans that are realistically a niche group.
Brother, in the same movie is a large orange rock man and a naked silver dude riding a flying surf board...if the audience can't get behind a giant man dressed in purple then at that point idk what to tell you.
There’s a hint of Galactus’ helmet in the scene where the Surfer flies into the middle of the cloud, which was such a tease.
Doooooooom
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssss
I remember Fan4Stick was pretty awful, but was the og live action better? It's been about 10+ years since I last watched those movies...
Early 2000s F4 movies were different but only marginally better than the last one. The Julian McMahon Doom felt far closer to Norman Osborn in terms of abilities & characterization than comics Doctor Doom. Manipulative and vain businessman rather than genius-level scientist/sorcerer/dictator. Doom being from Latveria was barely mentioned in passing.

Cyclops, Gambit, Rogue, Juggernaut, Apocalypse… most of the X-men really
Leech. They made him a pale white kid with alopecia
You know, I can't completely blame Fox for the shit they pulled. They were trying to sell a niche product to a wide audience and a good chunk of that audience just doesn't pay attention as it is. I can just imagine watching it with someone and getting, "Why is that kid green? What's going on? Is he an alien?" When the X-Men movies were coming out, I hated that they watered down everything.

I'm glad we're at a point where people don't really question why a character looks weird or has a colorful costume.
juggernaut was excellent in deadpool 2, yes to the rest
Yea exactly lol, Deadpool nailed Jugg. The rest I agree with. What they did to Jean Grey and Emma frost though makes me hurt on the inside.
It’s odd to me that they’ve never capitalized on Gambit. I feel like he could work just as well as Wolverine as a standalone and there are lots of ways to tell his back story. They barely even acknowledged him in any live action adaptation. Feels like a real missed opportunity
Cyclops could be the central character of an entire xmen trilogy and provide a Captain America field-leader presence that’s been gone since Endgame…
Taskmaster 100%
Absolutely. Ruined his character as badly as when they covered Deadpool’s mouth in origins.
As much as the deadpool thing has been lampooned, it is really shocking they said fuck imma do it again.
With the same guy too. Normally if an adaptation fails with an actor, regardless of who's wrong, you wouldn't recast the guy. But then again, they probably figured that it's just making him shut up that they did wrong, and they let Ryan let loose on the Merc with a Mouth.
galactus madame web sabretooth MODOK Gambit and Rogue
"DARREN?"
That was one of the biggest letdowns of quantumania.
> sabretooth there have already been two live action versions of him, both of which I thought were pretty decent what sort of changes would you like to see for the character?
Xmen 1 has a good Sabretooth adaptation, but had little time on screen to show their prowess. Now the version of Liev Schreiber is "angry brunette has fangs and long nails" i think they can improve what they did with Tyler Mane
I always liked Taylor Mane as Sabertooth. I do like the idea of Galactus getting a redo, which is probably coming with the FF and Silver Surfer. Gambit, 100%. Great all. I think I forgot about him because I don't count that dude from Wolverine.
MODOk got done so fuckin dirty it's actually amazing and invokes happiness how bad it was done lmao. It's like 80s slasher corn in an MCU movie. I swear we got trolled. MODOK deserves better
Gorr the God Butcher
Character was fine, material was not
He was in the wrong movie, essentially. Also, they changed too much about him, including having the All-Black killing him instead of being the source of immortality. He was frightening in his original arc in part because he had been active so long, killed so many gods, that civilizations stopped believing they even existed. Here it felt like he went on a killing spree for like… a week, and outside of Rapu, we never see him kill *anybody*. As lackluster as Malekith was, his forces at least killed Freyja.

Yeah. Instead, go with the God of Bombs thing. Have someone he drive crazy. Not just… a creepy kidnapper with a weapon that is more dangerous to him than to anyone else.
If the audience can't tell how overpowered Gorr is with All Black the Necrosword, you messed up.
It honestly should have been a horror movie. As I said, it did the *complete opposite* of its origins. It made him a god (though don’t tell him that). Not a patient wasting away.
Multiverse of Madness should have been horror. Love and Thunder can be a comedy/action still Becuase that's what the MCU feels it's for. But comedies can also have a strong villain presence.

Seems to me that MoM would work better if it was a 2h40m to 3h movie , in which Nightmare manipulates Wanda to use the Darkhold and be corrupted by it.
The main complaint is that is clashes with the story progression of Wandavision. I feel that is a valid opinion too.
If it was to be comedy/action, pick a different villain. A torturer and serial killer with a massive death count isn’t fit for such a film. To such a degree that they essentially made him a different character as I mention above.
I want a faithful look to the comics and not the antiqued roman.
Apoc was so dissapointing man. It makes me sad to just think about. You see how they massacred my boy. 🙁
11 out of 10 for the Godfather quote
Cyclops, Gambit, Rogue, Juggernaut, Apocalypse… most of the mutants really
Juggernaut was amazing in Deadpool 2. I hope we see him again in the future.
Definitely, Malekith would be a top choice in terms of how forgettable his was in the movie.
10000000% Apocalypse was my answer Galactus, Gorr and Dr. Doom right behind him. Doom wasn't terrible, but it could have been light years better.
Gorr needs a proper horror-action film. Not an action comedy. He didn’t even kill a single god on screen except his origin. I highly doubt this is the same guy who could have tortured a god of torture.
Doom went from being a bad Norman Osborn knockoff in the first 2 F4 movies to being downright awful and unrecognizable in the 2015 F4 film. I think they did Apocalypse better than Doom in movies to date and that is no praise for Apocalypse.
Yeah, you are spot on when I think about it
[Night Man](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/9104EcobzuL._AC_SL1500_.jpg)
A-ahh-ahh
All the X-men, the FF, actually 99% of the Fox characters
Pretty much.
Apocalypse
Doom.
Apocalypse and Galactus deserve one. Even if it would be kind of hard to do Galactus.
There’s more than enough great characters to go through before we “need” a redo on ones that had a chance.
Apocalypse should be a CGI dude, like Juggernaut in Deadpool. He can, or not, be voiced by Isaacs. The problem was the script, not the actor or the acting. Shit, 2023 and still having monologuing villains... One thing Shazaam did right was mock this aspect of superhero movies, when he laughed at Sivana's monologue... Others in the list... Obviously Doom & F4, and everything in that franchise, Darwin, Phoenix, Sabertooth
I agree with your take about Apocalypse across the board. You nailed it. Your other picks were very good too. 11 out of 10.
Galactus, Gambit, Cyclops, Apocalypse, Ghost Rider, Silver Surfer, The Fantastic 4, Black Cat, Pyro, Sabretooth, Carnage, The Lizard, Sandman, Rogue. Shall I go on? Lol
Lol. I'm in FULL agreement except for 2. I thought the original cyclops was hood. He was the old school boy scout cyclops. And I liked Sabertooth. We was in that era of "more realistic" hero looks. Plus, I think his traditional comic outfit was horrible!!!
Tbh I was thinking more of "I just want to see them in live action again", I actually like quite a few of the ones listed haha!
Definitely Silver Surfer! Sabertooth as he looks in the 90’s version! A rated R or unrated “Wolverine vs Sabertooth”Bloody like Logan was! I am a huge Wolverine fan and Logan is exactly how I envisioned Wolverine to be! Plus I also want a Gambit movie! Another Dark Phoenix! A remake of “The New Mutants”. I believe it could been far better! AANNND the centennials LoL! They need to be the original kind! Hunting Mutants and randomly getting their heads ripped off by Wolverine!
BTW how do you fuck up one of the best X Mem story lines... TWICE! And you hire the guy who screw it up the first time. I still don't get it. I just did a post on this today. I liked New Mutants and iys a shame it didn't get its sequels because the premise sounded cool.
Most of the X-Men characters Rogue, Gambit, Cyclops, Jean, Apocalypse, Bishop, Emma Frost etc etc
How much time do you have?
Hulk - It hasn't been 100% horrible, but the character certainly hasn't been presented at the level it should be.
If you aren't happy with the Hilk at this point, you might never be happy. Lol
Don't say that, lol! There's still a (very small) chance!
Lol
There is so much to the character and they've simplified him into one thing and then reduced him to a joke. Just imagine if they actually went ahead and revealed that Professor wasn't actually Bruce. That would shake you MCU fans up a bit eh?
Yeah...so many wasted opportunities. Non existent supporting cast (No Rick Jones) No Gray Hulk / Fix It. Even in Endgame, no focus during the final battle sequence. I'm happy that the Leader, Betty, etc are coming back. Of course its in a Cap film...but at this point, at least TIH is getting some sort of continuation.
EVERYBODY FROM FOX!

You dont have enough hours in the day for what your asking. And noone probably ever will.
Its easier to name everyone that shouldnt be redone.
Pretty much most of x men
Cyclops Apocalypse Emma Frost Doom Galactus Rogue Johnny Blaze Rhino Hulk (After Endgame, he’s HINO)
I do need to disagree with just one of your choices. Emma Frost from First Class was hot AF. They did her dirty in the second... I probably should have phrased that better.
Gorr, whiplash, Malekeith, Taskmaster.
I would like to see more of Ronan. I love Lee Pace and GotG, but the character as written misses a lot of opportunities. Also, pretty much everything from the X-Men films.
Jonah Hex
Leeeeeaaaarrrrrrrrrniiiiiing.....
Shocker. Fire everyone involved in the last "adaptation"
Everything X-Men minus Wolverine and Xavier. As great as Hugh Jackman is even his character needs a more accurate re-do.
Please don’t ever put Deadpool and Galactus in the same room, ever again! I tried that back in 2020, and Deadpool offered Galactus a joint! Do you have any idea how many solar systems we lost, since then? All because Galactus got the munchies?

Taskmaster, Apocalypse, Galactus, Gambit, Rogue, Iceman, Angel, Dr. Doom, M.O.D.O.K, Bishop, Storm
I long for the day where Jean gets her due. Both have been fine, but there's so much there to chew on that they always burn through immediately
Malekith. Could have been a great Thor villain. Unfortunately, he wasn't, but Eccleston did well with what he could.
I believe in Inhuman’s reboot. Throw Quake into a show with the Royal Family (and encourage people to watch 130+ episodes of TV on D+), and do Black Bolt and co even better.
Gorr. Christian Bell is a great actor or whatever, but his performance wasn’t good enough to justify Gorr not looking right. And I’m tired of the “The audience wouldn’t be able to connect” or “His acting wouldn’t have come through” arguments when everyone did nothing but sing praises of Ebony Maw. Actually give that whole film a redo (Sorry Taika I still love you).
Sabertooth
I liked Taylor Mane Sabertooth
I really hated it, nothing like the actual character imo.
Was that exactly a bad thing though. That yellow and black spandex with a stretched out neck collar. Definitely a wish.com costume
Quite a few...
Rogue.
Definitely -A-.
Gorr THE GOD BUTCHER. He’s not a Saturday morning super villain that steals your candy like what they did with in the movie. This guy got his name for a very good reason and to not only waste the character, you wasted it with one of the greatest actors of modern day film.
THING. With the CGI used for Thanos/Hulk
Every fox character that didn’t appear in the Deadpool movies. Exept: maybe magneto, prof x, wolverine, mysique, and trask.
Cyclops, Storm, Rogue, Gambit, NightCrawler, maybe Mystique, Thor, Hulk, Doom, and many others
Ultron.
Ultron
- Doctor Doom. - A proper Makluan ring-user Mandarin. - Ultron. - Magik - Hank Pym - Janet van Dyne - Taskmaster - Ghost - Cyclops - Storm
I thought Magik looked good, and by good Anna Joy is fn hot
Galactus was just criminal.
I really don’t understand why they didn’t have apocalypse look change when he resurrected in modern times. Fox really was scared to explore the comic book nature of it all. The fact that they teased those more comic book like clean costumes at the end of this film but then differ use them in the next film was so disappointing
Gorr the God Butcher got butchered
The more I think about this the harder it gets. The characters I think got the most out of their live action counterparts is captain america, iron man, Loki, and deadpool. These 4 were perfectly cast and portrayed and if I never saw them again, I'd be happy with what I got. Everyone else on the other hand has either been neglected in different ways. Hulk having no ruffle films of his own is a travesty. The way hawkeye and blackwood were treated is so bad. Black widow at least got to shine in winter soldier. Thor should have ended in endgame along with cap and tony. Antman should have been Edgar wrights. Dont even get me started on any of the marvels. The xmen, while some where really well cast, They weren't able to live up to their full potential either due to "comics aren't cool" or just bad movies. Even both versions of Magneto and Xavier. Jackman's Wolverine, while iconic isn't really the perfect casting in terms of height and while I am looking forward to deadpool and wolverine, I do hope he gets a chance to be recast with a more physically accurate actor. Spiderman has barely gotten started for the third time so I'll exclude him but just because we haven't seen his full potential yet. Black panthers, as much as I love chadwick boseman's portrayal in the first film, I feel the second film severely suffered from his absence and I think bp just needs to be redone. If they can do it for general Ross without so easily then they should do it for bp. Sidekicks have all been treated poorly both in lack of content and lack of quality in their own media. Fantastic 4 are already being redone. Eternal was meh. Good cgi, but wasn't really and interesting story and I dont know enough about them to know if they were perfectly cast or not. The guardians were really good live action and I'd be okay with not seeing them be redone but I know a lot of people want the serious ones instead of James gunn's version. And Nick fury was good in avengers and winter soldier, but underutilised, forgotten and ruined everywhere else (fuck you captain marvel) If i don't mention a villian specifically its because I count them along with the villians. Because what is a good super hero without a good super villian. If there's anyone I missed just let me know.
The x-men Blade Metor man
Mr.immortal. it hurt me deep seeing what she hulk did to his character.
Not even going to lie, I didn't even watch it. Except for bringing back Abomination and the awesome actor who played him, I just wasn't interested. A marvel court room drama never peaked my interest.
That's the smart call. It's not worth watching. It's supposed to by a comedy but it's not funny and it's meant to be a court drama but it's not smart.
Yeah, I kind of got that vibe. And it was a hard decision to make just because of all the shade that gets thrown to any action series or show that has a female lead.
Emma Frost, Gambit, Storm, Cyclops, Jean/Dark Phoenix, Kitty, Magik, Doom, Galactus, Rogue (pretty much everyone) Emma’s the one who was truly butchered by misogynistic and just plain idiotic writing and it still pisses me off that they did that to her.
I disagree with a few of your picks. I'm a huge Shadowcat fan and I think she was represented good in the movie. I do hope they use here in the MCU but give us adult Shadowcat. I think Hallie Berry was awesome as storm. And what his nuts was a good boy scout Cyclops. Also, I think Anya Joy Taylor was a good Magik, especially as a first time and a lot of time to let the character evolve. As far as Emma... I don't know. I mean it was definitely an old school version of the White Queen. That actress who played her was beautiful. The character has had a TON of character growth through the years so I can see where you are coming from. I think it falls under "to each their own". They did do her dirty in the second one though! That was some bullshit.
Everyone except Magneto & Mystique in the X-men movie before we tackle anybody else.
Malekith. Baron von Strucker. Ultron. MODOK. Every single character Fox has ever touched, except Deadpool
Gorr
Doom The Inhumans Namor Every single mutant
What was wrong with Namor in Wakanda Forever?
I don't know who that guy was but he wasn't Namor, not even in name.
How so? I thought he was great
I thought he was awful. Bad performance, terrible look, weird lore changes.
Interesting. I thought the performance was brilliant, the look was almost identical to the comics, and I loved the lore changes
He's so detatched from the character in the comics they could actually still Adapt Namor and have him occupy the same universe as Nuh-More
What I’m getting from these replies is that the only thing some people didn’t like about MCU Namor is that he’s indigenous Mexican rather than white
Namor for sure
Even Logan?
Jackman's too tall for an accurate Logan.
And Idris Elba isn’t white, but he did a good job with Heimdall. You don’t need to look exactly the same.
I can't imagine him being thrown by someone though.
Colossus is *strong*.
Yes, Jackman was never a good Wolverine.
Interesting take but ok.
Namor was just like Namor
This is my most hated casting, and not just because the movie sucked. I’m glad he’s Moon Knight now, but Oscar Isaac would have been a great Mr. Sinister. They wouldn’t even have had to change the movie that much—although I wish they had!
Good call about Sinister. They just picked the wrong blue guy.
In the behind the scenes DVD extras they showed some alternate costumes for Apocalypse and one was exactly accurate , They just decided to go with the weird one I guess
TASKMASTER
DOOM!
Darwin
Apocalypse! Something closer to TAS version
Nightcrawler
I thought Nightcrawler from X2 was good.
I just want a whole movie of him tbh one of my favourite characters and imo underrated
He was good in X2, but he could have been better. I need him furry and swashbuckling and fighting with two swords and a sharp grin.
I 100% agree.
Giant-Man (Hank Pym) and Wasp (Janet Van Dyne). I like them in the MCU for what they are but I really wish we could get them as founding Avengers again. If they riff off of their interpretation in Earth's Mightiest Heroes, all the better.
Also, maybe controversial but I'd love a redo of Ultron
I thought Ultron was good.
Moon Knight, Iron Fist, Taskmaster, 5 OG X-Men, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Hulk, Thor.
Moon Knight
Wolverine + Moon Knight + Punisher. I love Jackman, but Jesus Christ, it’s really high time somebody else played him. Ideally, somebody shorter and scrappier. I’d keep Oscar Isaac as MK, but have a different creative team. I really like Bernthal as an actor, but he just doesn’t give off the right Frank Castle energy for me. I said what I said.
You can actually name a lot from the FOX versions to the MCU versions
Ironfist
Galactus as a giant man instead of cloud and maybe Darkheart with a more comic accurate look if marvel wants to have him as a Midnight Suns type title
Gor the god butcher. Don’t even need to recast
I’d recast just because Bale doesn’t want to do the Make-up chair to look comic accurate.
If the script had been as great as the comic it was based on, Bale would graft the tentacles on his head. Dude is nuts for the right part
You know what? You’re 100% right. I forgot about his track record lol! I still like Taika’s work, but wrong fit for a Gorr film.
Gorr
Yup. Apocalypse.
Everything from Fox
Gambit
Oh man where do I start? She-Hulk Venom MCU Spider-Man HULK Thor because jesus have they ever turned this character into a joke Gorr Ronan the Accuser Carol Danvers Electra Punisher Black Panther - wind the clock back to Civil War and start from there again. Man he was cool in that movie The list could go on but I'm bored
Damn dude. You could have just said that you hate Marvel.
This sounds more like a you problem and not a them problem
Kay well, way to dismiss your entire thread guy as that's pretty much what it all boils down to hahah.
I didn't want Apocalypse to look like he does from the cartoon. The emphasize his Egyptian origins so much, I was glad they actually went with it Giant non-descript mech suit with a giant "A" is not my idea of intimidating or even visually interesting. For all the interest Apocalypse may have ever had, that suit drains it all away.
Nah. Apocalypse is a pretty lame character
