Luckily, not all of the comics that would make perfect MCU horror films are decades old. For example, Donny Cate and Nick Spencer’s 2018 Damnation The comic would make a great movie because of its high-stakes premise: that Mephisto, Marvel’s equivalent of the Devil, has plunged Las Vegas into hell (and you thought the temperatures were bad before!). This forces Doctor Strange to assemble a very eclectic group of heroes in order to fight for the very soul of Sin City.
If the MCU’s powers that be are ready to fully embrace horror, Damnation has a little bit of everything, including a Big Bad villain arguably scarier than ever seen before. Additionally, the original comic had many cameos, including Blade and Elsa Moonstone (the latter appeared in Werewolf at night). Additionally, several Avengers are transformed into Ghost Rider-type characters, which could be a cost-effective way for Marvel to include characters like Hawkeye and Captain Marvel whose actors would potentially only have to provide voices for transformed characters which would be brought to life primarily through CGI animation. .
