Top 10 Characters from Popular Movie Franchises Who Should Get Their Own Movie

1. Lord Voldemort (Harry Potter)

   

   Lord Voldemort is a fictional character and the primary antagonist in J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter book series. He first appears in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, published in 1997. Born as Tom Marvolo Riddle, he becomes the dark wizard known as Voldemort and is characterized by his obsession... read more

   This is a character who wanted to kill an infant because he would challenge him. He is pure evil, he is despicable, and he is great to watch. However, the potential depth of the actual character could be explored a lot more.

   One aspect that the 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince' movie skimped on was Lord Voldemort's backstory, which is a shame as it was probably the most interesting part of the book.

   His backstory was done poorly in the Half-Blood Prince film. On the other hand, that would make a movie about him less redundant, so in that case, it could be a win-win situation.

2. Cyclops (X-Men)

   

   Cyclops is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is a founding member and frequent leader of the X-Men. Cyclops, whose real name is Scott Summers, first appeared in X-Men #1 in 1963.

   One of those origin movies killed them all. A shame because that movie was bad. This is a character I want to see cope with the power he has, how his relationship with Jean helped him through it, and how Xavier helped him.

3. Boba Fett (Star Wars)

   

   Boba Fett is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise. He is a bounty hunter who appears in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, working for Darth Vader and Jabba the Hutt. Boba Fett also stars in his own series, The Book of Boba Fett, released in 2021.

   A movie has been canned. Oh, for god's sake. Who asked for a Han Solo one? I mean, wow. With that out of the way, he could still have an incredible movie, showcasing the darkness of moments in the galaxy.

4. Albus Dumbledore (Harry Potter)

   

   Professor Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore is a fictional character in J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. He serves as the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for most of the series. Dumbledore is also the founder and leader of the Order of the Phoenix.

   This man seemed to have a complex childhood, as we learn in TDH, and could make for a great movie. With FB 2 coming out, maybe there will be more depth, but personally, I would like a movie.

5. Gandalf (The Lord of the Rings)

   

   Gandalf the Grey, later known as Gandalf the White, is a fictional character and one of the protagonists in J. R. R. Tolkien's novels The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. He is an Istar, a type of Maia sent by the Valar to aid the peoples of Middle-earth against the threat of Sauron during the Third... read more

   The best movie franchise, and this character needs to get explored. I want to see how his childhood moved along. I want to see how he got interested in magic, helping people, and quests as a whole.

6. Dick Grayson (Batman)

   

   Yes, he was in them. I want to see how the argument with Batman went. I want to see a proper in-depth look at how he got on as Nightwing and how he could be developed more in movie form.

   They made this a joke in Teen Titans Go to the Movies.

7. Salazar Slytherin (Harry Potter)

   

   This is a character who created, for many years, an evil house in HP. There was not even a witch or wizard who actually didn't go bad. I want to see why he thought what he thought about Mudbloods as a whole.

8. Loki (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

   

   Loki Laufeyson, also known as Loki Odinson, is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is the adoptive brother and archenemy of Thor and is known as the "God of Mischief." In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the character is portrayed by Tom Hiddleston.

   One of the most beloved characters in the MCU. I hope we're getting a Loki solo movie soon!

9. Obi-Wan Kenobi (Star Wars)

   

   Obi-Wan Kenobi is a fictional character in the Star Wars universe, portrayed by Sir Alec Guinness in the original trilogy and by Ewan McGregor in the prequel trilogy. The character is a Jedi Master who plays a pivotal role in the training of both Anakin and Luke Skywalker. Obi-Wan also appears in the... read more

   Lots of Marvel and Lucasfilm characters are getting shows all of a sudden. I can't wait to see this one that revolves around one of the greatest Jedis ever!

10. Yoda (Star Wars)

    

    Yoda is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise created by George Lucas. He first appeared in the 1980 film The Empire Strikes Back and serves as a wise and powerful Jedi Master with deep knowledge of the Force. Yoda was originally performed by Frank Oz, who provided the character's voice and... read more

    A character who just fought bad guys in the prequels made him a VERY uninteresting character there. I want to see what happened to his species and how he became a truly legendary Jedi. That would be awesome.

    I think he should get his own movies. He is one of my favorite Star Wars characters besides Rey.

    Mace Windu (Star Wars)

    

    Mace Windu is a fictional character in the Star Wars universe, portrayed by actor Samuel L. Jackson in the prequel films. He is a high-ranking Jedi Master and member of the Jedi High Council. Windu is known for his purple lightsaber and his role in leading Jedi missions during the Clone Wars.

The Contenders

13. Wicked Witch of the West (The Wizard of Oz)

    

    I want to see why she is the way she is. This will be tough, but if people can put their full writing mind to it, it just might work. I also want to see an actor who truly wants to play the role like Hamilton did.

    If your local library has it, check out "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West" by Gregory Maguire. It already inspired a stage musical. Maybe it'll be a movie someday, too.

14. Sauron (The Lord of the Rings)

    

    Sauron is the title character and main antagonist of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. Originally a servant of the first Dark Lord, Morgoth, Sauron rose to power after Morgoth's defeat. He forged the One Ring to dominate Middle-earth but was defeated when the Ring was cut from his finger.... read more

15. Emperor Palpatine (Star Wars)

    

    Sheev Palpatine, also known by his Sith identity Darth Sidious, is a fictional character and one of the primary antagonists of the Star Wars franchise. Publicly, he appears as Senator Palpatine, then Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, and later as Emperor Palpatine. He is mainly portrayed by Ian McDiarmid... read more

16. Darth Maul (Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace)

    

    Darth Maul is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise. Trained as Darth Sidious's first apprentice, he serves as a Sith Lord and wields a distinctive double-bladed lightsaber. Darth Maul first appeared in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace and later featured in Star Wars: The Clone Wars... read more

    This is confirmed. It is going to be made by the same guy who made Logan.

17. Darth Vader (Star Wars)

    

    Darth Vader is a Star Wars character who serves as the main antagonist of the original Star Wars trilogy and as the central figure in the Star Wars prequel trilogy, where he is known by his original name, Anakin Skywalker. Initially trained as a Jedi Knight, Anakin defects to the Sith under the influence... read more

18. Haymitch Abernathy (The Hunger Games)

    

19. Severus Snape (Harry Potter)

    

    Severus Snape is a fictional character in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. He is portrayed as a complex figure whose cold and sarcastic demeanor hides deep emotions and a troubled past. Snape plays a pivotal role in the series, ultimately being revealed as a tragic hero.

    He was an amazing character and actor in the Harry Potter franchise! I would love to see a movie that revolves around his life.

20. Jar Jar Binks (Star Wars)

    

21. Johanna Mason (The Hunger Games)

    

22. Joker (Batman)

    

    The Joker is a fictional supervillain created by Bill Finger, Bob Kane, and Jerry Robinson, who first appeared in Batman #1, released on April 25, 1940, by DC Comics. Credit for the Joker's creation remains disputed. Both Kane and Robinson claimed responsibility for his visual design, while Finger is... read more

23. Storm (X-Men)

    

    Storm (Ororo Munroe) is a mutant superhero appearing in Marvel Comics. Her first appearance was in Giant-Size X-Men #1 in 1975, created by Len Wein and Dave Cockrum. Her main superpower is weather manipulation, and she has served as a prominent member and sometimes leader of the X-Men.

24. Toad (X-Men)

    Carnage (Cletus Kasady) is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, usually as an enemy of Spider-Man. He first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #361 in April 1992. Carnage is the offspring of the Venom symbiote and is infamous for his violent, homicidal... read more

26. Terry McGinnis (Batman Beyond)

    

    There has been a really good animated film, but there should be a live-action film - maybe even a trilogy.

27. Bucky Barnes (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

    

    James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, he first appeared in Captain America Comics #1 in 1941. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Bucky is portrayed by Sebastian Stan and evolves from Captain... read more

    We barely scratch the surface of Bucky's backstory in Captain America 2.

    Also, since he trained Black Widow, it could explore the backgrounds of both characters!
