Sinestro was perfectly cast with Mark Strong and looked great in Green Lantern. It's too bad the movie's various shortcomings meant there would be no sequel to explore his turn to evil. The Inhumans TV show was ill-conceived on many levels, leaving Marvel to shift their big screen focus to The Eternals (which had issues of its own). Let's hope that everyone on this cover gets another chance to shine in their respective cinematic universes.

With all due respect, Ross? I think we movie-goers have a comparatively better chance of seeing Ryan Reynolds doing GL 2 in preference to DEADPOOL 3. Eng. translation: highly unlikely.
We did get to see Anson Mount's Black Bolt, however briefly, in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. But with the Inhumans TV series, I watched that and would again; I didn't find it to be nearly as bad as people were saying. Most of the "shortcomings" (at least, the ones I read about) had to do with translating the property to live action, especially on a TV series budget. In fact, I'd welcome bringing the whole cast back; I can't think of any reason (aside from others' dislike of the show) that the events couldn't have taken place in the main MCU.
I especially enjoyed Serinda Swan's Medusa on that show, just as I enjoyed her portrayal of Zatanna on Smallville. I'd love to see a cover here with both of those characters (not necessarily a photo cover).
Unfortunately, a similar call for Mark Strong's two characters -- Sinestro and Sivana -- appearing together will have to fall to DC.
But it might be interesting for Black Bolt to work with Capt. Christopher Pike.
The multiverse is more like proving value that the What if concept could work on the big screen. Since the animated series seem to be doing so well, What If movies should do pretty well.
The 3D Green Lantern animated series was good.
Give me the Filmation classics from Saturday mornings back in the 1960's.
During a conversation earlier tonight, I had the mental picture of Chewbacca and Groot having a conversation where nobody can understand them but each other... then others started adding to the team with Pikachu, Gleep, Murf (Star Trek: Prodigy), and the Tasmanian Devil. I think they'd make an interesting team for here.
@Bob: Yeah; "The Incomprehensibles!" ;-D
@Cary: That's precisely the name I'd been thinking of!
Delightfully warped minds think alike. :-)
PS: If the Incomprehensibles actually come to pass here, I might just write out a script for the story inside. All that would be needed then would be the interior artwork....
I'll keep my fingers crossed. :-)
In the meantime, though, might I humbly suggest a team-up that has yet to be done? Although, STF #4040 does lay the groundwork for it. Sinestro vs. Coed Red!*
