10 Famous Unmade Comic Book Movies We WISH We Could Have Seen

From listening to virtually any interview with the man, you can tell that Quentin Tarantino always seems to have at least a dozen ideas in his head at any time. That probably goes some way to explaining why so many of the movies that he's mentioned over the years quickly find themselves on the back-burner.

If he had the focus and energy to make them all then we'd have seen the likes of Double V Vega, Casino Royale and Kill Bill Vol. 3 a long time ago, but one of the Academy Award winner's most famous unrealized projects would have seen him venture into uncharted territory and tackle a straight-up superhero movie.

Not long after Reservoir Dogs was released, Tarantino seriously contemplated adapting Luke Cage for the big screen, in a move that probably would have made Spike Lee furious had it happened. The Pulp Fiction director revealed that his friends eventually talked him out of it because he wanted Laurence Fishburne to play the title character, while his buddies laughed it off and said it couldn't be anyone but Wesley Snipes.

While it was little more than a brief flirtation with the idea, seeing Quentin Tarantino dip his toes into the comic book genre would have been something to see. Not only would it have been a real shot in the arm for a genre that wasn't exactly at the height of its popularity back in the early 90s, but the thought of Fishburne donning the iconic yellow t-shirt as Harlem's most famous guardians sounded like pitch-perfect casting.
