HeroBlend #18: Established Marvel And DC Heroes Who Really Need A Solo Movie

Welcome to the HeroBlend Podcast #18! We've got an intriguing show for you today, folks, as Adrienne and Eric will be going over a wide variety of cool news items and then dive into their thoughts on the MCU and DCEU heroes who should really get their own solo movies! While this week hasn't brought us any blockbuster superhero news, we do have a number of smaller items to go over in order to keep all of our beloved listeners up to date on everything going on in the hero realm. As such, we'll dig into the IMAX Marvel marathon, a cool theory about Nick Fury and Iron Man, some new Dark Knight info and much, much more.

Then, after our second week of the new dedicated segment, Five Minutes Under The Gunn, we will get into Eric's brilliant ideas for all the heroes in the MCU and the DCEU who may have been shown in some capacity in other big screen efforts, but actually deserve to have their own solo films. And, while I can't give everyone away in this article, you can rest assured that there are aliens, intrepid reporters, anthropomorphic critters, mostly overlooked sidekicks, little sisters and even one character we've heard about but haven't actually seen yet, along with many more amazing possibilities. Sit back and relax, folks, because this is one chat you're not going to want to miss! Ready to dive in? Great! Read on to get the lowdown on this week's podcast and then listen for yourself above!
