2. Avengers/X-Men
Good-guys-fighting-each-other-before-teaming-up-to-beath-the-bad-guy is one of comicdoms most cherished and well-loved clichés. Which is why last years Avengers vs. X-Men was such a breath of fresh air; no misunderstandings, no behind the scenes bad guy manipulating events- just two superhero teams beating the hell out of one another, each convinced that theyre fighting for whats right. A vs. X was a great event comic in its own right. But heres why a movie featuring the Avengers duking it out with the X-Men would be nothing short of awesome in three little words: Hulk vs. Wolverine. I know, I know, Logan is an Avenger in the comics these days, but for the average Joe cinemagoer, he will now and forever be an X-Man. And who wouldnt pay good money to see Marvels two most hair-trigger tempers explode at the same time? Snikt! vs. Smash! Need I go on? While the Hope Summers/Mutant Messiah storyline of the comic book would clearly be far too complex to be made into a movie, the same core premise could be easily adapted using a more recognizable mutant- say, Rogue. In a nutshell: Rogues powers are raging out of control, the Avengers see her as a huge potential security threat and need to take her into protective custody while the X-Men firmly believe that they can take care of their own. The script practically writes itself.
