8. The Hulk
Poor old Hulk hasn’t had an easy time of it on the big screen. Between Ang Lee’s underwhelming 2003 effort and a disappointing reboot in 2008, the Green Goliath didn’t really find success until a starring role in The Avengers.
Before any of those became a reality however, there were also plans for a movie starring the Marvel comic book characters back in the 90s. Universal went through a number of drafts, with one featuring Bruce Banner experimenting with gamma-irradiated insect DNA on convicts (turning them into, er, insect men) and another which would have starred someone like Jim Carrey or Adam Sandler in what would have been a full blown comedy.
These rewrites continued until Ang Lee came on board and we ended up with his take, but there are still obviously countless other Hulk movies we could have had before that one…
