Now this is truly and odd couple. A story that would find them having to work together could be very interesting.

CGI is the special effects language of movies these days, but classics like the original King Kong and The Adventures of Captain Marvel boasted some very impressive practical effects for their time. I'm sure young audiences thrilled to the wonders before them. The only thing cooler would have been to combine the two properties.
Krakoa is another great location and concept that I hope to see on the big screen one of these days. Maybe once Marvel's X-Men are up and running in the movies we will get an adaptation of Giant Size X-Men #1.
These two first met in an Shazam Family/X-Men team up in STF #801.
Thank goodness that when a giant monster emerges on Earth-STF, there will always be a random pair of heroes to combat it. Let's hope that these two are up to the task.
Captain Marvel is no stranger to talking animals as allies, and has his own roster of bizarre villains, so a team up with Howard The Duck wouldn't seem all that out of place for him. I think that a writer could have a lot of fun telling this tale.
While it has been known that he is a part of the movie for a while, he promotional materials for The Thunderbots* have been pretty much keeping The Sentry under wraps. Will this be another situation where he only shows up for a few minutes in a climactic battle, or does Marvel just not want to give away it's biggest surprises yet? I guess we will all find out soon enough.
The similar color schemes make these two heroes look good together. Captain Marvel has magic based abilities of flight, speed and strength with a nice guy personality and a youthful identity, so he has aspects of Dr. Strange, Thor, Quicksilver, Captain America and Spider-Man all rolled into one - It would be interesting to see Tony Stark's reaction to working with him.
These two characters might not have a lot in common, but hey - gigantic monsters storming the countryside would tend to bring all kinds of heroes together. I know that I would read it!
This is a team concept that has been discussed in the comments and I thought that is was time to put it together. The first three members of this group were easy to pick, but there is a wide choice of funny animal characters that are known to talk straight to the audience. Bugs Bunny was the one that made the biggest impression on me, so he got the nod.
Ambush Bug previously met She-Hulk in STF #3928, and Deadpool in STF #285...
I thought it was time for this assemblage of heroes that have held the Captain Marvel title to return. Of course, a team this powerful requires some formidable opponents. Who better than two of their greatest adversaries, putting their evil mind and might together?
Captains Marvel first appeared in STF #1610...
Maybe it's the squinty eyes, but these two always seem to fit together, despite the different types of stories that they get involved in. I can definitely see them forming a World's Finest type partnership. Dick Tracy and Captain Marvel first met on the blog in STF #1322...
For the conclusion of this Five-Part Tale, The Surfer has finally come to his senses and granted the Power Cosmic to some more worthy recipients than Black Adam. Time to clean up the mess that he left behind and put Galactus in his place!
Captain Marvel previously faced off against the World Devourer with Superman at his side in STF #2969...
This cover marks the 15th appearance of The Danvers Twins. I think that Bob Greenwade, a Patron of this Blog, has a good chance to win the movie role teased here - he's been suggesting a Benoist/Larson cover appearance for a while now. Lets just hope The Danvers Twins movie fares better then The Marvels at the Box Office!
While they appeared together on a whole team of Captain Marvels in STF #1610, I haven't featured these two as a pair since way back in STF #16,over 11 years ago. This is truly a belated sequel to that tale, which also featured Thanos.
Doomsday pretty much took out the entire JLA before going one on one with Superman. Would The Avengers have fared any better? I'm not sure, but I would definitely want to read about the battle! I guess it would all depend upon the roster.
I loved the era when Worlds' Finest became a dollar book with a bunch of rotating back up features to go with the regular Superman/Batman team ups. Probably my favorite was the Shazam back-ups that featured artwork by the great Don Newton. I've seen the Shazam characters depicted in a very cartoony style as well as realistic and gritty - but in these tales I think that Newton really struck the perfect balance. Captain Marvel and his supporting cast and villains all looked great.
Now that the Snyder-verse has more or less come to a close with The Flash (and its less than stellar box office receipts), James Gunn, Peter Safran and DC can start to get their new DCU underway, beginning with Superman Legacy. Casting announcements seem imminent, and I've liked some of the names I've heard rumored for Clark, Lois and Lex. It'll still be some time before we see any footage, but at least Superman and Lois has been renewed on TV for one more season (sadly minus the entire supporting cast) to tide us over.
Superman first met Mar-Vell in STF #736...
This cover required a little bit of clean-up work before I could change the wielder of the energy blast. here's a peek behind the scenes:
