10 More Comic Book Teams That Need Their Own Movie

10. The Future Foundation

There have so far been three adaptations of the Fantastic Four on the big screen, and response to them has been... not good.

At this point, we're all familiar with the origins of the team. No one wants to see Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben travel to space again, get exposed to cosmic rays again, and then go through the process of coming to terms with their powers again.

Instead, whoever holds the rights to the FF should take a cue from the writers of Captain America: Civil War and introduce Marvel's First Family has having already existing in the MCU, like they did with Spider-Man. It presents a narrative issue - where were the FF when x happened? - but it's nothing that can't be solved, and the same approach did Spider-Man wonders. Thank the lord we never had to suffer another lecture on morality from Uncle Ben!

The Future Foundation provides a perfect opportunity to get to know the team again alongside a new cast and status quo. The Foundation is essentially a school of scientific discovery and philanthropy located at the FF's New York City headquarters, home to students and teachers alike. Think Hogwarts, except the school is made up of dozens of kids with genius intellects, including four Moloid siblings, a young Wakandan girl, and a humanoid/android dragon. Ant-Man Scott Lang was even a teacher for a while.

At its heart, the FF has always been not just a superhero team, but a family and the Foundation emphasises that.
