Earths Mightiest Heroes” for nothing.Scott Pilgrim vs. the World 2010This one might be a little more superhero adjacent than the others on the list, but, without a doubt, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is a bonafide classic. The action rom-com was adapted from Bryan Lee OMalleys much-loved graphic novel series and, to this day, hardly any comic-book adaptation captures the same feeling of reading panels, or its BAM! and POW! video game-style fight sequences. Its all brightly colored, saturated in sound effects and catchy music and full of a self-aware bite.Photo Courtesy Universal Pictures Everett CollectionFor the uninitiated, director Edgar Wrights adaptation centers on slacker musician Scott.
Pilgrim Michael Cera who, along with his band, is eager to nab a Germany WhatsApp Number Data record deal. Unfortunately, things take a turn when Scotts new sort-of girlfriend, Ramona Flowers Mary Elizabeth Winstead, reveals that he must battle her seven evil exes in order to be with her. And, as fate would have it, one of those evil exes just so happens to be record producer Gideon Graves Jason Schwartzman. Needless to say, its a real K.O.Unbreakable 2000What a twist! An M. Night Shyamalan film on the best superhero movies list. Look, if you just know Shyamalan for his thrilling and twisty horror films, like The Sixth Sense 1999 and Signs 2002, then youre missing out.

He embarks upon a superhero origin story of sorts and, in doing so, meets comic book store owner Elijah Price Samuel L. Jackson. Sure, its been 20 years since the film debuted, but well still avoid spoilers. Youre welcome.Unbreakable became part of Shyamalans Eastrail 177 Trilogy, which is rounded out by his more recent films, Split 2016 and Glass 2019. Not interested in a Shyamalan Cinematic Universe? No worries.
