2. The Fantastic Four

If you thought Ghost Rider's cinematic treatment has been bad, just think about the Fantastic Four, and you'll feel better for him. If there's one team that's been consistently abused, mistreated, and mishandled on the big screen, it's Marvel's First Family.

The first two were nothing to write home about. When Fox announced a reboot, fans thought, "Hey, it can't get any worse, right?" Wrong. It got so much worse. When Fant4stic came around, not only was it worse than the first two - it was complete garbage.

That alone is enough reason to be excited for the MCU's take on the team. They're in the hands of a studio with a great track record, run by people who are fans of the source material. For the first time, the Fantastic Four might have a halfway decent movie to their name. Plus, unlike Fox's X-Men, there's no nostalgia attached to those earlier adaptations, so Marvel can get to work on them as soon as they want (without having to worry about letting the nostalgia die down).

Not only do the Fantastic Four fit perfectly with the MCU's tone, but they bring with them one of the greatest villains in Marvel comics: Doctor Doom. Get hyped. Get hyped right now!
