6. The (Original) Defenders

While the version of the group made up of street level heroes may have been pretty enjoyable, The Defenders were originally made up of an entirely different roster, one which would likely be better suited to a big screen adaptation than the one seen in Netflix's now defunct MCU spin-off.

This incarnation of the team features much more classic heroes, those being Doctor Strange, Hulk, Silver Surfer and Namor, with others such as Beast and Valkyrie having also been members at one point or another.

With Strange and the angry green giant already being mainstays in the MCU, half the group is already there and with Disney's buyout of Fox, Silver Surfer and Namor should be on their way too, meaning that bringing this version of the Defenders to the big screen wouldn't be difficult at all.

Also, the Doctor is still owed two more movies, either of which could be used as a jumping off point for such an alliance.
