Villain-centric movies you'd like to see?

[Vakanai]

So the first trailer for the Joker movie dropped today (and was surprisingly good in my opinion), and it got me thinking, with the dumb fun success of Venom last year, and the evil Superman homage Brightburn coming up, it seems like villain movies might become more of a thing for a while. So with that I ask, what villains do you think can pull off being solo movie stars?

I think any of the Marvel villains stranded in the Savage Land could be good, sort of like an MCU Jurassic Park film. Especially if there's a group of b villains so a few could get eaten.

Dr. Doom would be a good one, could introduce him as a threat to everyone while waiting to fix the public's perception of the Fantastic Four.

Dr Doom 100%. Could be a good way of differentiating the MCU FF from the other films. Have the FF in their own film, Dr Doom in his...and finally build up to their big collision.

The Hood is a strangely good choice, too. It could be very Peaky Blinders-esque.

DOOM

Attempts to acheive, only to fall short, over and over, until he resigns himself to megalomania and becomes the Ozymandius he sees himself as.

Actually, portraying Doom as a Watchmen's Ozymandius figure and then having the combined might of the MCU defeat him would be a killer bookend to the concept.

Superior Foes

I was all set to start in for a Turk (from Daredevil) movie, but this is gold. We don't need Thanos wiping out 50% of everything for an interesting movie. Another aspect of Foes would be a reliance on acting and actors as opposed to effects.

Superior Foes and Zemo's Thunderbolts!

Doctor Doom can sport a trilogy all by himself:
1) Annual #2, Books of Doom,

2) Astonishing Tales 01-08, FF #258 and other Latveria centric stuff.

3) Triumph and Torment


Superior Foes of Spider-Man would also be cool, as would Thunderbolts.

[GigaBalls]

A Magneto movie could be cool.

Dr. Doom would be sweet.


Thunderbolts


After the Dr. Strange set up I think a Mordo movie could work.

and of course

Juggernaut

We were very close to getting a Doctor Doom film get the green light but that script was developed by Noah Hawley for Fox. Now it's up in the air but Kevin Feige did ask Hawley just recently if he was still working on it. From what was teased in the interview, it sounds very much like Books of Doom

Hawley said his “Doctor Doom” movie will feel more like a “geopolitical thriller” than a traditional superhero movie. The script would be set in Doom’s country of Latveria, which is preparing to open its doors to the world for the first time. According to Hawley, the film would center around a female journalist who is assigned to interview Doom during this key transitional period for his country. The driving force behind Doom’s decision would be one of the film’s central mysteries.

“Is he a good person or bad person?” Hawley said. “We don’t know anything about him.”

I like the idea of Doom's story being developed separately from the Fantastic Four once he hits the MCU.
