By everything that is good and righteous in the universe, let there be a Booster Gold movie.
Dr. Strange seems like something that'll happen sooner or later.
I really doubt Green Arrow will get his own (big budget) movie any time in the next few decades with the political climate of this country; one of the pillars of the character is that he is a very aggressive liberal, and that won't fly with the studios.
Doc Savage might be tough. It'd be funny as hell, but I don't think you could carry a whole movie just doing "badass psychologist" jokes. No reason he shouldn't show up in other movies, though.
Union Jack...maybe he could get his own low-budget movie here in the States, but patriotic Britishness won't fly for the same reason Green Arrow's liberalism won't.
And how Luke Cage hasn't gotten his own movie yet, I don't freaking know. That dude is awesome. And for the sequel? Iron Fist.

Yay British patriotism!
All of these films should be made especial Union Jack.
We need a British superhero.
That's exactly what I was going to say, only I want the original Question, not the Montoya version.Jonny The Kay said:
Also, Thunderbolts would be an awesome film, the only problem is explaining who all these bad guys are and why are they "good" now.
What, nothing about Captain Marvel (the DC version)? Oh wait, I think I heard they're doing a movie for him...
This is the only hero they should make a movie about

That could definitely work, provided he does something about his 'vocabularized speech patterns'.Green Ninja said:
Where's my Martian Manhunter movie?
Is it just me, or is anyone else also surprised to hear people keep saying that Iron Man was considered a relatively unknown property among the mainstream until his movie debut? I don't about anyone else, but even without being into comics I've always thought that Iron Man was just one of those really well known Super Heroes like Batman or something. Maybe not quite as well known, but I always ( ever since I was a kid ) thought that most of America at least knew who he was.
Nope. Iron Man may be known about because a certain generation grew up on the comics and and the cartoons. To be honest, the cartoons kept him going, as during the 90s and early 2000s, he had a very long run of sub par storylines and readers started dropping like flies.Hexley said:
Outside of that, he is not an 'A' lister because if you asked a random grannie on the street she wouldn't know who is he was. As for people like superman or batman, you could go the middle of a bangladeshi street with a superman tshirt and there is a good chance the beggars there would get the referance.
As for Bobs ideas. Well Green Arrow and Booster Gold. Those would be great films. I'm not quite sure if you could get the concept across well mind. If only because unless the asshole and liberal side of Ollie is played up, there would be very little to distance GA from any other superhero.
Booster Gold relied up a lot of cameos from other heroes to get his early stories going. The way the DCU is going in the films, every hero exists in their own seperate world at the moment and do not interact. Perhaps it would be a great way of introducing the linked DCU 'post Nolan'.
Now what I don't understand is why no-one has mentoned perhaps making low budget films or TV series from some of the charcters in the Wildstorm universe. If they got a decent script writer on board, aware of a lot of the tropes that existed for superhero films, we could get a great Authority or Planitary series.
Huh, did not know that was THE Doc Samson in The Incredible Hulk.
Maybe his movie could be him leading a group session of all the other heroes listed, about how they don't have movies made about them.
