CBM Top 5: Most Needed Comic Book Movies With Fan Casts for Each Character!

Hey guys, I'm back with another Comic Book Movie top 5 list. With today being the day Comicbookmovie.com mentions me on the fanboy spotlight, I couldn’t resist from posting an article. This time I'm bringing you guys a look at my opinion on the top 5 superheroes that need to have there on movie, in order. Now I know I might be missing some, but for now, here's my take on the top 5 superheroes that need to hit the big screen:

5) Ant-Man (Henry Pym) Marvel

A very difficult choice at number 5, Ant-Man's story is somewhat compelling. His power is like nothing we have ever seen, he can grow huge like the Hulk, but then shrink down to a miniscule size. It would be a fun movie to watch, and most of all, he can translate directly into the Avengers, which I know everyone would love. His creativity as a character makes him one have the potential of reaching box office success, as well as a success based off the movie alone

Fan-Cast: Patrick Wilson as Ant-Man/Dr. Hank Pym


4) Black Panther

Black Panther, based off the comics and the tv show, is one of the strongest and best superheroes in the Marvel universe. Incredible powers, an interesting location, and an amazing plot are all key aspects of the high potential of this franchise! Black Panther is cool, and not being a racist, but there are not too many black superheroes. Black Panther could emerge among them all, becoming not only a idol to children, and a favorite movie, Black Panther could become a serious franchise that can revolutionize the comic book movie world. On top of adding him to The Avengers, the Black Panther is one badass superhero that the world has barely been exposed too. It’s about that time to let Black Panther hit the big screen, and most importantly, make a huge splash in the lives of many CBMers, and movie fans!

Fan-Cast: Idris Elba as Black Panther/T’Challa

3) Doctor Strange

What makes Doctor Strange a position ahead of Black Panther is the fact we have NEVER seen a superhero like Doctor Strange before. A sorcerer and a magician, Doctor Strange brings a whole new vision of the term “superhero” to the table. With the success of similar things like Harry Potter, Doctor Strange’s powers seem believable, and with Marvels recent success, I see no reason why this would fail. If a Doctor Strange movie works out, the Comic Book Movie world could change forever. His powers are unlimited, and instead of the average joe superheroes like Spiderman, Batman, and Superman, we can finally see someone that can fit into the real world, and a hero that can do something completely different then the regular superhero. A Doctor Strange movie is needed, not only for us comic book movie fans, but for the movie fans across the world that are ready to see a new, fun superhero! Doctor Strange is our answer to this question, and we can only wait to see when, with who, and how this future Marvel movie will turn out.

Fan-Cast: Patrick Dempsey as Doctor Strange/Dr. Stephen Vincent Strange

2) Wonder Woman

IGN’s 5th greatest superhero of all time, Wonder Woman still hasn’t hit the big screen! I know, what’s up with that? A true warrior, Wonder Woman is a kickass fighter, a respected hero, and a sexy princess. Women around the globe need this movie to prove that not only men can be heroes, but women too! A failed tv show means nothing to the potential success of this franchise, and with the development of Wonder Woman, it just helps us reach a step higher in everyones dreams of having a Justice League movie. Give us Wonder Woman because we know Warners Bros will deliver, this heroine needs some movie love, and when that moment happens, we won’t regret paying that little 10 bucks to see an amazing flick. Wonder Woman please come to us soon!

Fan-Cast: Adrianne Palicki as Wonder Woman/Princess Diana of Themyscira

1) The Flash

Now I can understand why you may question The Flash at number 1, but it’s no question that he needs a movie. With the simple, easy fact that his powers give him super human speed, The Flash is a beast. Marvel has a greater quantity of movie heroes and movies, but what DC has the quality of there heroes. Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, and now the Flash, success for a better MOVIE is here. A power that people wish for like super speed can finally be translated to a character that’ll make sense of it. We need a Flash movie, it would be an incredible film, and it would be a worldwide success. It’s about time that he hits the big screen once and for all, and with his simple but yet remarkable powers, it’s only ideal that he’s the one comic book character that could change everything for a recently struggling brand like DC. Children, teens, adults, and seniors would all enjoy to this hero come to life, and me personally, I don’t see any other reason why he shouldn’t be number one on this list.

Fan-Cast: Bradley Cooper as the Flash/Barry Allen

Honorable Mention: Captain Marvel

A cool character that would do really good on the big screen, his story and powers give him the potential for success. This movie isn’t desperately needed, but I sure couldn’t hurt to take a try at it.

Fan-Cast: Brandon Molale as Captain Marvel/Billy Batson

Personally, I think Patrick Wilson is a better choice for the Flash than Bradley Cooper. I kind of grew to like the idea that either Matt Damon or Neil Patrick Harris can portray Ant-Man for Edgar Wright's new movie.

Patrick Wilson would be a better Mr Fantastic! But he'd be good as Hank Pym too.

'Doctor strange...we can finally see someone that can fit into the real world' Hehe, really? I doubt that.

Pretty good, but seeing as Idris Elba is already Heimdall in the MCU, you need someone else for Black Panther.

All of your picks are pretty much spot on except Palicki as WW. Never should that woman come close to playing WW ever again. She was terrible in the pilot of the show. Just does not come off as WW to me.

I don't think that Idris is a good choice to be in that film for the sole purpose that he's already a character in THAT universe.

The other male casting is good.....particularly Patrick as Strange. I think that he's perfect for the role.

Pat Wilson for anty or flash, he would do great as either

Yep, Patrick Wilson is a better
REED RICHARDS.

MORRIS CHESTNUT would make a great
T'CHALLA. Yep, IDRIS was Heimdahl
but that is not a major character
at MARVEL. I could still see him as
BLACK PANTHER.

MOLALE is too old now.

I don't see BRADLEY as BARRY at all.
PATRICK WILSON would actually make a
good BARRY.

I could live with PATRICK as STRANGE
but it actually needs to be an actor
with more gravity like CHRISTIAN BALE.
But no DEPP.

DR.STRANGE is not an old guy, he only
has white in his hair from all the stress
he went through becoming the SORCERER
SUPREME. He is probably in his mid to
late 30's.

Palicki as WW is a no go.

Not a terrible casting, kind of unoriginal.

I appreciate everyone's comments, just letting you guys know that this is barely a fan cast. I put this in the editorial section, but it winded up here. This is my opinion in order of what I believe to be the top 5 most necessary comic book movies that have still not been made yet. I just added some fan casts in for the fun of it. Thanks for the comments and keep them coming!

I kinda want to quit when I saw ELBA there, lol. I mean come on, him again?

He's been HEIMDALL and will be that monk guy in SOV, not to mention a very lot of fan cast roles thrown upon him.

Well yeah he's damn great, but there are some other great black actors out there as well.

The rest are okay, probably no to PALICKI and COOPER, not really seeing him for FLASH, more GUY/BOOSTER!

WILSON for HANK, not bad, well he's been NITE-OWL but shouldn't be a big deal!

Actually I've never seen him for any CBM roles (not even FLASH and also a no to REED) yet, but if he's picked for ANT then I'm okay.

DEMPSEY for STRANGE, after seeing DOTM I'm quite convinced, though my first pick is still CUMBERBATCH!

Michael B. Jordan for Black Panther. Also like the idea of Patrick Wilson is a good pick, but I'd prefer Aaron Eckhart.

Idris Elba is just not for right for T'Challa. He already looks old as shit.

The rest are pretty brilliant choices.
