13 Superhero Movies We Almost Got

There’s an endless stream of superhero movies coming out today, today being “since about 2008… maybe 2000.” But the glut of comic book movies could’ve been much larger and way more different if things had gone another way. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Doc Ock, Bob Hoskins’ Wolverine, and also maybe good ones too, like a Neil Gaiman and Guillermo Del Toro Dr. Strange. Yeah, that sounds cool - it’d probably be a nice relaxing blend of kind of trippy, kind of disturbing, and really colorful. Of course, that Nic Cage Superman we like to go on about would also probably be kind of trippy, kind of disturbing, and really colorful. But also not, uh… good? Probably? Who knows, if there is anything we can always expect out of the man, it would definitely be the unexpected. Anyway, here is a nice little bunch of films we can spend our time thinking about – because if there’s anything we like, it’s pondering what could have been.
