FILM NOIR
Marvel actually makes this first entry an easy one as they have many characters and stories under their 'Marvel Noir' label. While arguably Sin Ciy is as close as we've gotten, it's a graphic novel adaption and not an adaption of a comic book character. Characters like The Punisher or Deadpool have excellent runs with the Marvel Noir continuity, and these could definitely help in bringing these characters to screen in fresh and exciting ways.
WESTERN
With the distaste of Jonah Hex and Cowboys and Aliens fresh in my mouth, it's sad to admit that part of me doesn't want Hollywood to blend Westerns with other noteworthy genres akin to Sci-Fi or Comic Books. That said, we have to think optimistically and especially with Wolverine and his now classic storyline 'Old Man Logan' I think that Comic Book Movies can get a fresh shot of invigoration by taking an established character and placing him in a world with Western sensibilities. With the right writer, Old Man Logan could legitimize Western-Comic Book Movie hybrids!
CHASE FILMS
Films like
North By Northwest, The Bourne series, The Terminator, and
The Getaway have cemented this sub-genre with an exciting cat and mouse dynamic that leads to excellent tension throughout the film. While we saw some of this dynamic in some Marvel films like
The Winter Soldier or
Iron Man 3, I think the time is right to introduce a full movie featuring a hero on the run from a menacing presence.
Captain America and his badass motorcycle would make for a fun movie don't you think?
JUNGLE EPIC
Many great Jungle films feature a protagonist that can traverse his land almost effortlessly, utilizing the land against invaders, and other antagonistic forces. A character like
Black Panther could really reinvigorate the Jungle Epic genre and bring renewed interest to this type of story.
REVENGE FILMS
Movies where the character is pushed to their absolute limit before pushing back makes for great potential stories and makes characters lively and refreshing. It's deeply intimate and personal stories like
Daredevil and the now infamous 'Born Again' that could make for a great take on the Revenge Film genre.
WAR FILMS
Civil War would be epic. Logisics aside, when we get this film, it'll blow minds.
MARTIAL ARTS
Looking back at classic martial arts films, especially all those Bruce Lee films you watched as a kid. Well if Marvel plays their cards right and we get a genuine Netflix series that follows the excellent 'Immortal
Iron Fist' storyline, then we'll be set!
BIKER
Can we get a proper
GHOST RIDER film finally?
SPY
Perhaps a film starring
Black Widow with
The Winter Soldier also appearing?
