If you could give Sam any character form Marvel or Dc for him to direct other than Spider-man, who would you choose?


I would love for him to do Lobo or The Hulk. It has to be a Sam Raimi MOVIE. Where the elements that he's really good at could shine

I agree Hulk will be great for him in Marvel. In DC I will give him Batman. Sam Raimi is always fond of Batman and Shadow. Those characters inspired him to make Darkman. Apart from these comics they should have given the Mummy remake instead of Alex Kurtzman.

You know what I fear.. studio interferance. Or are you gonna tell me that Spiderman 2 would turn out just the way it did on a Cinematic Universe? I doubt it. I love the interconnection between characters of this. But theres less liberty.

I'd give him all of them.

Doctor Strange

....and now I have a reason to watch a comic book film again. Dammit, thought I was off the hook!

Lobo? Sam Raimi hates 90s characters. Look what he did to Venom! I doubt he even likes Lobo. Frankly after the whole Venom Fiasco with Spider-Man 3 I don't even want Sam Raimi directing another superhero movie. The guy is too stuck up to do popular villains like Venom and Carnage. He probably hates Darkseid, Billionaire Philanthropist Lex Luthor, Bane, Clayface, Killer Croc, and other popular villains who aren't from the Silver Age. Sam Raimi is going to be directing Doctor Strange. I just hope he doesn't insert a bunch of unnecessary humor like he did in Spider-Man 3. And this next Dr. Strange movie was going to be a bit darker and involve him fighting scary things. I should just wait and see but I am not a huge fan of Sam Raimi except for Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness. Yeah. I didn't really like the first Evil dead that much. I prefer the 2nd one and Army of Darkness. But I still don't like him directing superhero movies. I didn't even like his take on Peter Parker/Spider-Man that much.
