8 Superhero Teams We Still Need To See On The Big Screen

2016 is surely a golden year for superhero team movies, with the likes of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, Captain America: Civil War and X-Men: Apocalypse bringing three of the biggest comic book groups to the big screen. Sure, two of those see the heroes fighting each other rather than teaming up against the bad guys, but we’ve still never had it so good before.

Now that Spider-Man is being brought into the fold, Marvel might be looking to introduce more teenaged heroes (it would make sense – they could surely get more films out of them than older actors like Robert Downey Jr.). So, if they’re hoping to go that route, then they need look no further than hit series Runaways.

Initially created by Brian K. Vaughan and then continued by Joss Whedon, the series focussed on a group of kids who discover that their parents are supervillains. Using the powers they have inherited, the teens pledge to become heroes to stop what their mothers and fathers are planning.

Runaways features a diverse bunch of characters – from an alien to a girl who can telepathically control a dinosaur – who are also know for their intelligence and wit.

Sounds like it’s just begging to become another jewel in the crown for the MCU, doesn’t it?
