I’m still waiting on this week’s MSN DVD column to go live, but until it does, I offer you this MSN Movies piece about super heroes in need of their close-up — or, more specifically, comic-book characters that deserve their own feature films.

And yeah, it could have been more comprehensive — as John Semley pointed out, I completely forgot Doctor Strange. He suggests Tom Selleck, who’d be an interesting choice … but having thought it over, I think Hugh Laurie might be a more appropriate pick. Selleck’s voice is just too high for a master of the mystic arts; you want someone who can bring the sonorous incantations at full force.

Anything else I left out? And don’t say “Vin Diesel as the Living Monolith” — sure, it’s ideal casting, but there’s no way that movie ever gets made.
