10 Comic Book Movies That Could Be The Next Avengers: Infinity War
3. Ultimates: Omniversal
Marvel Comics
Although the first arc from Al Ewing and Kenneth Rocafort's Ultimates doesn't necessarily scream 'big event comic', the team itself is geared towards stories the kind of which Infinity War has now opened up. It's cosmic AF, and its team - comprised of Captain Marvel, Black Panther, America Chavez, Spectrum and Blue Marvel - is among the most powerful the Marvel Universe has ever assembled.
The fact that the first story-arc also revolves around them taking down Galactus serves as a pretty good indicator of their powers as well, with the planet eater oft considered to be Marvel's most powerful entity.
The Ewing-Rocafort comic was relatively short-lived, but it made a remarkable impression while it was being published. Its team selection in particular was praised for how inventive it was, and while it's true that the MCU probably has enough teams as things stand, bringing the Captain together with these other heroes would be fantastic to see.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
