You could do it with CGI these days.

Speaking of which, what about the Silver Age Hawkman (and HawkGirl – who should be Hawk-Lady these days), Adam Strange, and Space Ranger?

I’d kina like to see Kata Hol attacking weird aliens armed only with some medieval weapon, like a mace.

I think we’ll be waiting for a long time for a good Conan movie. You are absolutely right about _The Sword and the Sorcerer_. A total Howard ripoff on a cheap budget, with a lead that looked nothing like Conan, and I still loved it. It’s still odd to think he went from playing Archie Goodwin to _The Sword and the Sorcerer_ in a years time. Looks like he had a long career, even in a Tarantino movie, but I never saw him in anything again.

The comic I would like most like to see Disney make into a movie would be titled:

_Fred Hembeck Destroys the Marvel Cinematic Universe_

I’m torn between wanting Fred to meticulously draw every cel of the animated version, and the live-action one, where the actors that’ve played the characters (eg. Jackman as Wolverine) get CGI’ed into Hembecked versions of their character.

Jim Starlin’s [DREADSTAR.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreadstar) Would probably work best as a TV series.

Holy crap, we might actually get Doop? (Far right of the second concept art photo.)

Since Marvel has already done the breaking-the-fourth-wall thing with **Deadpool** and the **She-Hulk** series, why not give the DC Universe a c hance with _Ambush Bug_ (and Cheeks the Toy Wonder).

The Defenders, With Doctor Strange, The Hulk, Sub-Mariner and Valkyrie.  
And another vote for Ambush bug.
