A few years ago, there was talk of a Rom movie. It was part of some shared universe, if I remember correctly, with The Transformers and The Micronauts. But Rom is one of my favorites. I liked that IDW brought him back, but I don't think the sales were that great. Of course, it's hard to best those Marvel stories with Rom.
I'd like to see Marvel get ROM back and feature him in the comics again. His popularity might rise up again, and the way could be paved for him to be in a movie. Maybe he could be part of the MCU, but I would be satisfied with a movie period regardless of the universe that it's in.
Who else here thinks that Rom, as he appeared at Marvel in the past, would have met the "worthiness" requirement to wield Thor's hammer?
Parker Brothers making movies? Take a step up and look at its parent company, Hasbro. They also own Wizards of the Coast (publishers of, among other things, Dungeons and Dragons and Magic: The Gathering); as well as Hasbro Studios, which has produced TV shows, Web series, movies, and other media based on My Little Pony, Transformers, Micronauts, Stretch Armstrong, and even Battleship. They even have another Clue movie in development, though it'll be hard to beat the first one.
And, indeed, as Jerry mentioned, they do have a Rom the Spaceknight film in the works, set to share a universe with G.I. Joe, Micronauts, and others. Zak Penn is signed on to write the script.
I enjoyed the GI JOE movies with Channing Tatum. I've watched all the flicks in the TRANSFORMERS franchise. And I absolutely _loved_ Marvel's version of both them and ROM back in the Eighties! So a feature film version of the latter is definitely guaranteed my viewership in theaters.
Re: today's cover? With Hasbro and IDW having "revealed" that V.E.N.O.M. is basically a splinter faction of C.O.B.R.A. using reverse-engineered Transformer tech, I can see easily understand why Earth-STF's resident counterpart of Rom would be ticked off about Doc Magnus seemingly collaborating with the Dire Wraiths.*
*Unless, of course, he's actually a Dire Wraith, himself! :-O
I love this cover, Ross. And I always thought the Doc Magnus was a little shady,
I always found it ironic that Marvel's Rom comic was far more successful than the toy that inspired it. It also bothers me that I can't get a 6" Marvel Legends Rom action figure because the original Rom action figure bombed.
With the success of Jumanji 2, maybe Hasbro Studios could make a live-action movie based on the 80's Saturday morning cartoon Dungeon and Dragons.
@Anonymous:
It certainly couldn't do any worse than the one that starred the ex-Jimmy Olsen from Season 1 of LOIS & CLARK.
@Cary: actually, that mega-flop starred Justin Whalin (who played Jimmy Olsen in Seasons 2-4 of L&C). Michael Landes was Jimmy during Season 1. Which is the same length of time he later starred in the syndicated TV series "Special Unit 2!"
A single self-contained ROM movie done right would be fantastic. His mission is to banish the dire wraiths. Once that is done, he's just another superhero, and further stories wouldn't carry the same heft.
"Self-contained superhero movie" is a bigger contradiction in terms than "honest politician" and "happily married," put together!
I'm Riffing off of Jerry Griggs first comment here, Ready? Three Two One Punch IT! Rom in Disney's Pirates of The Caribbean World would be Mad Fun, one wild ride of a Motion Picture. Can You Dig IT!
Riffing off of Mickey and already leaving the Exosphere long gone behind VUHSHOOOM! Rom Meets Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers THE Live Action CGI Motion Picture!
I do Simreeve I do! Strange object approaching the Imperial Vortex.
Completely off topic I would like to see in Comicbook form a continuation of: Buck Rogers In the 25th Century Season one (Not the silly second season), Man From Atlantis, Space 1999, The 1980 Flash Gordon Motion Picture,and although not a movie or a Comicbook I want to pet a Moose. I told you it was Completely Off Topic.
On Topic but Off The WaLL, I want to see several interpretive dances of this cover. All New All Different.
Remember Torpedoman (or whatever he was called?) from Marvel's Rom: The Space Knight? Change His name to Turbo Lover and tell me there's no Other.
@Brother Kellymatthew Barnes: How about Twiki (Buck Rogers) and Twinkie the Kid!
Anonymous only if Eddie (the rotting Corpse of IroN MaideN) is in it as well.Up The IronS!

How about Eddie versus Evil Ernie?
I've heard a great deal about the Rom character, and I'd love to see a movie about him. <3
I have no interest in evil ernie or evil bert for that matter.
How about Bert and Ernie vs. the Purple Teletubby?
