John Wayne as Captain America. Admit it, you know you want to see that.
Yes, yes I would.
Directed by Stanley Kubrick. Admit it, you'd watch a Stanley Kubrick comic movie.

I love Epic Rap Battles.
And we're missing a good opportunity. I present:

Circa 1965, 5 years after Ocean's 11, the group gathers.
Some because of taxes, some because of a paycheck, most because they have a lot of fun together and because Frank asked.
"Who's the kid," asks Joey.
"My son, Dean Paul," says Dean.
A glance around confirms, watch your language, he's a teen. Dean Paul looks slightly impressed. He'd been around all these people all his life, but not all in one group.
"So, a movie," says Peter. "Ocean's twelve?"
"Another heist film," says Normal. "Do you get to keep the money, this time."
"Probably not," says Lawford, "the Production Code is still in force. 'Criminals shall not profit from their crimes.'"
"That's why my son's here," says Dean.
Dean Paul stands and holds up a comic books: The Avengers.
A groan comes from most of the assembled.
"It's what the kids are reading now. With the British invasion, you're not as relevant as you once were. This will make a good movie."
The group bristles, but Frank calms them down.
"The kid has a plan. Let's listen to the youth."
"Speaking of youth, aren't you all a little long of tooth for capes and such," says Sammy.
"Time travel," says Dean Paul.
"We're going back in time," asks Shirley.
"Forward," says Dean Paul. "The main villain will be Kang the Conqueror, he's a time traveler. He and his communist forces (which gets a nod from the assembled) have conquered the world. You've been fighting and losing for years (which has the group bristle) but Tony, Iron Man, figures out the time machine and you take it forward to destroy his time machine so he can't go back and take over the world."
This brings a confused look.
"It'll work out," says Frank. "I've seen the kid's treatment. We'll get a good writer-"
"Harlan Ellison," says Dean Paul.
"Somebody good," says Frank. "Maybe that guy, Ricardo Montalban, as Kang."
"I'd like to work with him," says Shirley.
"Or Omar Sharif, for the international trade. Get Sophia Loren or Gina Lollobrigida as a lieutenant. Someone from history."
"So I'm Hawkeye, huh," says Sammy. "Doing Will again from the last movie. I thought we were looking for something different."
"I'll trade," says Peter.
"Umh, Ant Man is seriously dating Wasp," says Dean Paul, looking at Sammy, then at Shirley. "She's waiting for him to propose.
Sammy looks at Shirley.
"It's the future. It'll be good for this to be the future," says Sammy. Shirley nods.
"We're good," says Frank, looking at each.
They nod in agreement.
"Let's go have fun," says Dean.
The movie has a more serious bent. The gang makes a bet to sweep the best supporting actor category in the Oscars, which they almost do.
