Marvel has recently announced its upcoming movie slate up through 2019. In addition to the excitement many fans feel at finally getting solo films for Black Panther and the Carol Danvers version of Captain Marvel, the announcement also included the subtitle of the next Cap filmCaptain America: Civil War. Initially teased as Captain America: Serpent Society (which we would have preferred), the next Cap movie will feature Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. facing off against each other in an adaptation of the popular yet controversial crossover of the same name. We just hope the Russo brothers are able to stay true to the characters without turning Steve into a jerk or Tony into a despot, and that they can use the political allegory in a way thats more intelligent than just an excuse for a bunch of random characters collected from the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe to appear fighting in splash pages. With anticipation high, the question is now raised about what other classic storylines can or should Marvel adapt to the big screen? With the third and fourth Avengers films split up as one big epicThe Infinity Warit is going to be hard to figure out where to go next. Fortunately for Marvel, weve got some ideas on other stories they can adapt.
