8. Blue Beetle - Jake Johnson
With the DC Extended Universes Superman established as a brutal neck-snapping guardian, and its Batman shaping up to be a brooding Dark Knight like the last one, an injection of comic relief could be a good idea. A sprawling mega-franchise cant survive on grumpiness alone, after all. Blue Beetle could be just the perfect lighter addition to the fold, particularly the popular Theodore Kord version of the character, who consistently raised a smile in the comics after first popping up in 1986 . Hes a genius inventor and martial arts expert, who adopted the Blue Beetle mantra from his archaeology teacher. Theodore Kords Blue Beetle couldnt be less of a brooding vigilante. He travels around in a big blue flying machine called The Bug and wields a futuristic ray gun. He could be a fun, brightly-coloured alternative to the grittier corners of the DCEU and there has been talk of a Blue Beetle/Booster Gold buddy hero movie. Jake Johnson, fresh from his chuckle-inducing turn in Jurassic World, could be an ideal match for the part. He could lead a comedy-heavy solo series quite comfortably, as well as offering a comedic counterpoint in the bigger team-up movies. Sounds good, doesnt it?
