Gollum
Without a doubt, it is the one that first comes to mind for many of us, and that is that although Smeagol has appeared in numerous installmentss of Tolkien’s universe, the reality is that he has not had a film as such focused on his many centuries of dark and decrepit life, although the books may shed more light.
The closest we’re going to get to it is the video game that will be released this year. There is even a short film from several years ago called The hunt for Gollum and filmed by a handful of fans of The Lord of the rings. The leading role of this Gollum was evident in the successive releases of Peter Jackson’s first trilogy, becoming a benchmark of the enormous success that these films reaped.
Jar Jar Binks
A controversial character, hateful for some but an absolute geek icon for others. His appearance in the second trilogy (in order of release) irritated many, who saw him as a grotesque and ridiculous character, with his constant jokes of questionable humor and unjustified histrionics, even for certain more serious moments of the plot.
Two decades (23 years) have passed since its premiere, there is no doubt that a movie based on him would have a certain morbidity, as long as they adapted their character to the new times, with a different humor and perhaps a somewhat deeper personality. That which is so popular today in fictional stories of rewriting what is considered canon.
Doctor Emmett Brown
If there is a character that should have had his own movie, this should have been the Demmet brown Return to the future. We know a lot about him, in fact in the third installment his love story gains prominence, which after all takes place in an alternative timeline, like the Marvel Multiverse (haha).
But we don’t know anything about his life before that year 1985 (a bit of 1955), what happened to the doctor before the events of Twin Pines, how was his youth in those post-war years and other unknowns that, it seems, will be lost forever. Without a doubt, the character of Christopher Lloyd could have given a lot of play. No?
Severus Snape
This character is one of the darkest and most mysterious in the Harry Potter saga. And for that alone he deserved a movie, and even a series. He is about a perfect personality to dive into his past and in everything that links you to the Hogwarts universe. The reality is that there is a film made by the fans of the saga called Severus Snape and the Marauders.
Set in 1978, right after he graduated from Hogwarts, it is about a moment in his life that could surely be made for a (serious) film about the most decisive aspects that shaped him. He unfortunately he could no longer interpret it Alan Rickmanbut surely another actor could inherit all his magic.
Ivan Drago
the ones we grew up with Rocky in theater billboards we were shocked by Ivan Drago and the great rivalry he had with Stallone’s character. times in which the Soviets were always the bad guys of the movies, something that sadly is fully topical again.
The truth is that the character played by Dolph Lundgren earned a place in history of the cinema for his aggressive personality, which reached its peak with the death of Apollo Creed, an event that undoubtedly marked an entire generation. we saw him in creed IIand who knows if it could be the prelude to some production focused on the history of his character, a “bad guy” who could have a more friendly evolution, as has happened to himself John Lawrence from cobra kai.
And you, who would you propose?
