At some point I really would like an R-Rated film about a Superhero Team set in the MCU

**My Ideal Lineup:**

* Moon Knight
* Punisher
* Blade
* Ghost Rider
* Deadpool
* Wolverine

I realize that the team is a sausage fest, and I’m honestly okay with that. My lineup fits the vibe of an expendables type of team — a callback to 80’s action flicks. However, I realize this genre might be too niche, and may not be something Maeven wants to produce, nor audiencea wish to. Consume. So I’m not opppsed to giving it a modern team structure, especially if it makes it more appealing to mainstream audiences. In which case…

* Magik
* Domino
* Coleen Wing (as the MCU version of Ironfist)
* Echo The Ronin (I want her in the ninja costume)

A lot of people call a common variation of this team “The Midnight Sons” but I don’t think that it has to be. I’m fact, I’d rather it not be so completely mystical in nature, I picture a mix between John Wick & The Raid type of movie, with just a tiny bit of Hellraiser mixed in if it makes sense to do so.

Like super violent, yet stylized action martial arts film. The closest superhero equivalent would probably be the Dredd film from a decade ago.

I think that you could still make a PG-13 version of “The Midnight Sons” with all the mystical characters they’ve introduced thus far…

Doctor Strange, Wong, Elsa, Man-Thing, WBN, Shang Chi, Nico, Closk n Dagger, Wiccan, Agatha, Jennifer Kale, Scarlet Witch, America Chavez, Clea, Loki, Enchantress, and The Hellstorms (if that Hulu series counts as cannon). Have them take on Mephisto, Lady Death, Hela, etc.

…they can spare Moon Knight, Blade, and Ghost Rider and still succeed. Besides, with the Midnight Sons videogame and recent ongoing comic book, I feel that Marvel has re-position the brand, and I don’t think it even quantifys as a potential R-Rated property anymore. I honestly got “Young Adult Novel” vibes from both the game & series myself.

For an ”R-Rated” team of superhero vigilantes, I think they should maybe go by the 90’s moniker ”**The Hearts of Darkness**“

Thoughts?

You don’t want any females…unless it makes it more “appealing”?

kbean8262025-11-16 20:14

Yea. What the fuck was that line?

GypsyGold2025-11-16 20:18

The vibe of the movie that I wanted was an action movie like the expendables. A call back to 80’s films. Like an old school “dude flick”

If that’s too niche, and not something Disney wants to make, nor something the mainstream audience wants to consume, then I’m okay with that.

This was so cringe. The statement I don’t want any females should just be deleted. Oh no wait just delete the whole thing and go outside and touch grass.

GypsyGold2025-11-16 20:31

It’s not that I don’t want any females, it’s just that I realized my lineup was a sausagefest, and I was okay with that. But if it needs to be more diverse to appeal to mainstream audiences, then I’m perfectly okay with that.

Like I didn’t rattle off a lineup with the mindset of “no females” it just turned out that way.

Kalelisagod2025-11-16 23:46

It’s what you wrote before you changed it which is fine but still kind of gross you wrote that.

GypsyGold2025-11-17 00:26

I reworded it to be more clear based your feedback lol

So this is supposed to be some kind of bad joke?

GypsyGold2025-11-16 20:35

No. I want an R-Rated team movie, made in the style of a hyper violent 80’s action film.

Ok_Relationship_7052025-11-16 20:22

Basically the Marvel Knights

GypsyGold2025-11-16 20:32

Yea.

This just sounds like it’s R rated for the sake of being R rated.

Apart from moon knight, blade and ghost rider none of those heroes have any reason to be teaming up. Even then all these heroes are a lot more than just the violent guys who cause mayhem.

Putting them in a movie like this likely reduces their characters down to violent killers and nothing more.

Also the line about no women is just weird, it reads like you think women are incapable of being in a movie like this without someone toning down violence.

GypsyGold2025-11-16 20:24

Yup. R-Rated for R-Rated sake. Pretty much nailed it.

I developed the team, and realized there was no women on there. So I tossed some on just for the sake of it, then realized I preferred my original team as it was, because it fit the vibe of a hyper violent 80’s action movie.

So I split the list the put the paragraph in between.

Riley__642025-11-16 20:27

Yeah that’s a terrible way to make a movie and would not be enjoyable.

You’re simplifying and dumbing down all these characters to mindless killers to make what would essentially feel like a snuff film.

Yes all these characters can be extremely violent but except for Deadpool none of them really relish in getting to murder people. Murdering people is not a fun thing for these people it’s a curse/burden they’re forced to carry.

GypsyGold2025-11-16 20:33

I like 80’s action movies. This is the vibe I’d want. Something like Dredd from 2014. They can fight zombies or something if necessary.

Riley__642025-11-16 20:38

Yeah and that’s fine to like that type of movie but this isn’t the way to do it.

None of these characters are characters that enjoy killing, they don’t revel in it like the stars of those 80’s action movies.

These characters are tormented and haunted by all the awful things that they do and don’t enjoy doing it, they do it because they have no other choice.

If you put them in a movie like this you would dumb down all their characters to be people who celebrate murder and go out of their way to kill as many people as they can.

GypsyGold2025-11-16 20:39

That’s cool. Write it like that then. Tormented & Haunted. I’ll enjoy it.

Riley__642025-11-16 20:43

You are aware that written in that way it would not be like an 80’s action flick.

It would be character study that would have a lot of slower and intense moments not made of intense violence but instead the trauma and torture these characters face on the daily.

There’d still be action scenes but they wouldn’t be played like badass moments they’d be played like the void scenes from thunderbolts where we see the darker aspects of these moments rather than the action packed moments.

GypsyGold2025-11-16 20:46

Well, I’d still enjoy it.

Maybe I can hope for a Disney+ special presentation with a Deadpool film that’s inspired by Kung Fury!
