It seems like James Gunn would like to keep things in the relatively obscure stable if he were to take on another comic book adaptation after Guardians Of The Galaxy. While conversing with fans in an online Q&A, the director names Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely's animals-in-armor tale We3, Daniel Way's assassin killing Hit Monkey and Marvel's supervillain turned hero team The Thunderbolts as the comic properties he'd most like to adapt for film. They are certainly very interesting choice -- Thunderbolts in particular could feature a team comprised of any number of Marvel favorites, including current members Deadpool, The Punisher and Venom. If Gunn did get the chance to adapt any of the above, which one would you guys most like to see?

Thunderbolts would be amazing.

I think GOTG movie will do good things for CBM's and they'll introduce more team-up movies! Which is great! Like Heroes for Hire!

I know it wouldn't happen anytime soon, and its probably VERY unlikely, but these guys would be interesting.

If they do a super villain team movie, they should call it Dark Avengers. Why? Reason 1: they should save the name Thunderbolts for a movie based on the anti hero team (which, in the comics is made up of Punisher, Elektra, Red Hulk, Venom, and Deadpool. Marvel may not own the rights to Venom or Deadpool, but they can replace them with someone like Blade, Luke Cage or Daredevil). Reason 2: if the name "Avengers" is in the title, it will probably be more successful.

@DrDoom. Agreed, they gotta work on today's movies more than 2021's Movies.

[frick] that... I want the original team of villains pretending to be heroes.

It's a clever hook that hasn't been done on film yet.

@ Gnyah123

the line up was one of the best twists in comics,you shouldn't really read unless you don't mind major spoilers.

the comic is basically villains pretending to be heroes

thunderbolts(heroes) aka the masters of evil(villains)

techno aka the fixer
mach-1 aka beetle
screaming mim aka song bird
atlas aka goliath
metorite aka moonstone
citizen v aka baron zemo

Red Hulk-the leader
Elektra-the sexy badass
Blade-the cool one
Winter Soldier-the emotionally scarred one
Punisher-the antihero everybody loves
HitMonkey-the comedic relief

I'd say Daredevil-the Boy Scout of the group but I'm not sure he'd fit in

Punisher, Deadpool, and Venom are on a team?

I love Marvel, but they need to do more drugs...or something

I think James Gunn would be a great director for a MCU Deadpool movie.

I'm I the only one that would watch a hit moneky movie.

I think a Thunderbolts movie would be great, but the mcu hasn't gotten a MoE yet. Their stable of villians ain't deep enough. They wouldn't have to go with established villians, but that would make better. I do feel their are a lot of movies I would like to see before the thunderbolts. I never got into them until pym became leader, and left shortly after he did.

I can't explain it, but I still can't call the new team thunderbolts. I mean it fits because of ross and everything, but they will always be code red to me. Wasn't a big fan of the loeb run of red hulk, but that code red vs xforce was great. I haven't been getting the new title, but that team is crazy.

Thunderbolts! Yes. A new twist on the super-hero genre. Hasn't been done yet. Do it now, Marvel. Start sewing the seeds of the roster in the MCU.

Imagine if Marvel produced a Thunderbolts film before DCE put together a Suicide Squad movie?

LOL

HELL YES!!! But I would love to see Dark Avengers first, I loved the story arc, where The Thunderbolts were a distraction team used by Osborne..... and The Thunderbolts felt like they were cheap change... even have the Natasha Romanov with a blonde wig on...
