5. She-Hulk

This one may rub some the wrong way, similar to Storm. After all, word around the web has Alison Brie’s name attached to this role. While we all are dangerously in love with the idea, maybe, just maybe, if she isn’t Jennifer Walters, Beyoncé could be.

In case you didn’t know, Walters is Bruce Banner’s cousin, and it’s because of him she survived a terrible gunshot wound. Unfortunately, Banner’s willingness to give Jennifer his blood also gifted her with the green pigment and everything that goes along with being The Hulk.

Before becoming the sassy green superhero, Walters was a shy woman, turned hotshot attorney. With She-Hulk being a series, instead of a feature-length blockbuster, there wouldn’t be the same type of concerns that a star as huge as Beyoncé overshadow the MCU.

Imagine the series taking us on the journey through Walters’ life that sees her struggle early on as a timid lawyer.  She’d eventually win some cases and thrust herself into the spotlight as a high profile attorney. Consequently, she finds herself on the wrong side of dangerous criminals despite being on the right side of the law.

So how’s about this writer’s pitch: Beyoncé as the lead in this epic superhero law adventure, She-Hulk.
