If you were to make an Avengers style movie using characters from non DC or Marvel Comics movies, which characters would you choose?
-
Which character or characters would you choose as the villians? What would the movie be about? UPDATE based on comments... No characters from any of the DC or Marvel comics... only characters from other movies... and preferably not comic related (ie no Watchmen). That's not to say they can't be unreal or fantasy related but a preference for them to be grounded... so leaning more to Action/Sci-Fi movies... and not Comic/Fantasy movies. For example... Ethan Hunt could make a great Black Widow/Super spy type character. Should also be mindful of the surrounding universes of these characters... so in the case of Ethan Hunt (above)... IMF could supply a 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' like organisation to bring parties together. Not thinking each character has to resemble those from the Avengers... but instead each character chosen would make sense for them to come together... that is they each posses qualities that not only compliment the others... but would also create something worth more as a whole than the individual parts.

Answer:
Here's my choices. Took me a while to come up with them: Captain America- Jason Bourne would take this role because he is genetically enhanced like Captain America and would be able to provide combat strategies to the team. Thor- The Scorpion King would take the part of Thor. He has the size plus access to magic. Iron Man- I chose James Bond because he would have access to a lot of high tech equipment and he has style just like Tony Stark. Hawkeye- I am going with Dean Winchester from "Supernatural" as the Hawkeye role because he is adept at handling different weapons and brings the sarcastic humor similar to the comic book Hawkeye. Black Widow- Alice from the Resident Evil series would be my choice for Black Widow. She has the combat capabilities on the level of the Widow. The Hulk- This was a hard one because there aren't too many characters that transform into a brutish creature. I chose Seth Brundle from "The Fly" not so much from what his alter ego offers but more because he is a scientist like Banner who undergoes a horrible accident that turns him into something else. He also possess the scientific intellect. Nick Fury- Harry Pearce, head of Counter-Terrorism from MI5 ("Spooks" in the UK) would fill the Nick Fury role because of his mysterious past similar to Nick Fury's character. Like Fury, his team aren't quite sure whether or not they can trust him. Loki- Captain Widmark from "Fringe" would be my villain choice in the Loki role. He is the catalyst that brings the characters together because he is an Observer and has the ability to traverse time and other worlds. Plot- Intrigued by the different characters in their respective worlds, Widmark captures them individually and brings them to his world and time period for experimentation. They manage to break out and team up to fight against a onslaught of Observers utilizing their advance technology to their advantage. The team must stop the Observers from infiltrating their different worlds.

Great question. When you read too many Marvel comics, you notice patterns of how teams are formed. The Avengers closely follows a typical superhero balance of characters in terms of ability which is: Leader Brains Brawler Powerhouse Sneak And also personality: Socially Awkward Charismatic Leading Man/Woman Romantic tension (at least 2 people) Hot head Dark and moody And of course crossover can occur with any of the above. So for the Avengers movie Avengers: Leader - Captain America Brains - Iron Man/Banner/Fury Brawler - Hulk Powerhouse - Thor Sneak - Widow/Hawkeye Socially Awkward - Hulk Charismatic lead - Cap/Iron Man Romantic interest - I'd argue Widow/Hawkeye Hot Head - Iron Man (should have been Hawkeye if it had followed the comic) Dark and moody - Hawkeye/Fury Everyone has a place and every place is filled. This works for pretty much any original Marvel team, take Fantastic Four. Leader - Mr. Fantastic Brains - Mr. Fantastic Brawler - Thing Powerhouse - Human Torch/Invisible Woman Sneak - Invisible Woman Socially Awkward - Thing Charismatic - Mr. Fantastic Romantic interest - Invisible Woman/Mr. Fantastic Hot Head - Human Torch Dark and moody - Thing Original X-Men Leader - Cyclops Brains - Professor X Brawler - Beast Powerhouse - Marvel Girl/Professor X/Cyclops(sort of early on) Sneak - Professor X Socially Awkward - Cyclops Charismatic - Cyclops/Angel Romantic interest - Marvel Girl/Everyone Hot Head - Iceman Dark and moody - Cyclops Everyone on every team fits at least one role on the ability list and the personality list. So casting a movie from other movies (also, apologies if I'm repeating anyone, I swear I haven't read other answers yet)... Leader - Danny Ocean (Oceans 11) Brains - Buckaroo Banzai (The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension) Brawler - The Bride (Kill Bill)/Jackie Chan (whatever movie... let's say Rush Hour because I've seen it) Powerhouse - Trinity (Matrix) Sneak - Jackie Chan Socially Awkward - The Bride Charismatic - Danny Ocean Romantic interest - Danny Ocean/Trinity Hot Head - Buckaroo Banzai Dark and moody - Trinity

Awesome question! First of all I would like to go for a Bad guy. The perfect villain that I would like to see is Jade Warlord from The Forbiden Kingdom instead of Loki. Since they both have the quality of deceptiveness, some magical powers and Jade is immortal. Now comes the good side. As for the role of Thor, we are looking for the character who is actually a God like figure, so the best choice would be Perseus from Wrath of the Titans. For the role of Black Widow, I have got two characters in my mind. 1. Selene from The Underworld series. Black widow and Selene both are athletic and the most importantly, they both like guns! 2. Anna Valerious from Van Helsing. Would be interesting to see some sword play. For my favorite, The Hulk, we are looking for the one who is good with science and turns out to be huge when angry! So I would go for Dr. Henry Jekyll / Edward Hyde from The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. As for the Hawkeye, I completely agree with Vijay Varman's choice, Legolas. But just for more option, I would go with Robin Longstride aka Robin Hood from Robin Hood. As for the role of Captain America, I would like to choose Tommy Conlon from Warrior. For Iron Man, I would like to see James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.LD can be replaced by same actor but different character. Samuel Jackson as Agent Augustus Eugene Gibbons from XXX. or Morpheus from The Matrix. Lastly Phil Coulson by Bellick from Prison Break.

Nice question. Ok, for our hardnosed one-eyed leader of S.H.I.E.L.D I would have the equally hardnosed, one-eyed leader of the C.I.A from ; Spencer Trilby To replace our dear ; a patriotic, selfless leader would have to be King Leonidas from For our sexy, yet capable lead lady known as ; she would be replaced by Sydney Bristow from the TV show . And on to the God like figure of . I'd say Neo from the movies. After all they both have God-like powers, can fly, enormous feats of strength, etc. For the Science role of Bruce Banner, we're looking for a quiet guy that can turn his emotions around at the drop of a hat. For this I'd suggest Dr . For the role of , I'd go with Dr Gregory House from TV's . Like Tony, he's a bit of a dick. But he's witty, charming and when it really counts he'll be there. As for dear old the obvious choice is from . Both excellent archers and both extremely fast. For the cool as a cucumber sidekick of Phil Coulson I'd replace him with John Casey from TV's . They're not quite the same, but the both exude confidence and command. And finally for the villian I'd have to go with Lord Voldemort from . Both Loki and him want to take over the world, wield powerful magic, can mind control people and are prone to stupidly long monologues.
