What do people actually mean by a villain team up movie? Something like suicide squad? The heroes Vs a bunch of returning villains all at once? Or a villain centred movie?

The Thunderbolts thing seems pretty likely, especially with one of the writers just recently saying they plan to bring back some secondary characters to rehab them.

Hammer, Blonsky, Samuel Sterns, then throw in some later Phase people like the obvious Zemo.

Throw Batroc in there but he's gotta have the mustache

They kind of are. 3 hours of unseen footage qualifies as a new movie, and with that they're getting brand recognition, an in built loyal fanbase that are clearly willing to spend money, and tons of free publicity. It's kind of a no brainer really.

Probably only modern Batman movies.

So he's at the bottom of the list of Ledger, Nicholson, Phoenix, and Leto.

Think folks are generally talking about the Hero team vs the Villain team like X-Men vs the Brotherhood, or Avengers vs the Masters of Evil or Dark Avengers.

I don't even hate Leto Joker (Leto himself is another story) but outside of maybe a couple forgettable voice overs he's just dead last on any real list.

The second one is what I usually mean. Basically the Avengers or JLA but like...it's bad guys instead.

For instance, Guardians of the Galaxy, featuring the fourth worst Chris, is not a "team-up movie" by my infallible logic. X-Men is not a team-up movie. They're just movies that feature teams.

I might be persuaded to consider some of the Batman and Spider-Man films villain team-ups because there were several prominent villains in them who join forces to annoy the hero, but that's stretching it a bit. Feels like that's just a piecemeal definition of having a rogue's gallery at all.

But to torture the tenuous definition even further, I would probably consider a Sinister Six film, when it ever happens, to be a proper villain team-up. Why?...I dunno, the scope of it is just bigger I guess.

Batman Returns has three villains teaming up in different ways. Batman Begins has 4 if you count Zsasz (he works for the Roman so he's technically on the team).

I want two different things.

I want a Superheroes versus Supervillain movie where the bad guys just form together to take on Superheroes.
I want a "here is a portion of the film that is the Flash versus Mirror Master."

Separately I want a Thunderbolts film which is a "villain" centred movie.
Also if you are doing it, don't make it a Suicide Squad/Warren Ellis style rehabilitative prison team.
I want the whole "villains posing as heroes. Then looking at the complex questions about motive of doing good versus doing good acts and how that interfaces with rehabilitation."

Also speaking of Villain Centred movies, those Sony emails were saying that the execs were pushing hard for a Sinister Six film done as like an Avengers but with bad guys movie.

I guess I just think back to all the superhero movies ruined by trying to jam in too many villains (i.e. Spiderman 3) and wondering how that would work if you are doing that and also trying to jam in character development for a full superhero team at the same time.

I think the best way to handle a Thunderbolts film is to do a Suicide Squad-style villain redemption story. Have them infiltrate some rich Louisiana landowner's grounds to find Man-Thing, or something. Black ops stuff but with technicolour superheroes (so not very black ops).

You know my pet theory? That Falcon and Winter Soldier is already a backdoor Thunderbolts setup. We know Zemo, Batroc, Sharon Carter, and John Walker are involved. We suspect some Black Widow characters like Taskmaster, Yelena, or Red Guardian will be involved. It feels like the setup for Bucky and Sharon leading a SHIELD Thunderbolts/Suicide Squad with a bunch of villains of varying levels of redemption and a "hero" who is more of a villain in USAgent. You have Sharon and Bucky trying to redeem, Walker being a fascist dick, Zemo trying to undermine the whole thing. Add in some new characters like Moonstone and Songbird/Mimi. It would be fun to add in movie characters like Ghost and Vulture if you could. Add in Thunderbolt Ross as Walker's superior. But I think the skeleton is there for such an easy Thunderbolts "Season 2" that I wouldn't be surprised if the series turns out to already be that when it finally drops.
