Bullseye, Hawkeye & Nick Fury in S.W.A.T.
Everybody remembers that time Nick Fury got hired to head up the L.A.P.D. division that Bullseye was a part of and they went up against the rogue group led by Clint Barton, right? Of course you do...
...but for real, I would watch the crap out of a big screen Hawkeye vs Bullseye flick starring Jeremy Renner and Colin Farrell, and I have a feeling a lot of other people would too.
Check it: Bullseye is on a rampage Samuel L. Jackson's Fury gets tasked with bringing him in so he puts his own top marksman, Hawkeye, on the case, and we get nearly two hours of real life pals Renner and Farrell beating the crap out of each other, setting up and escaping elaborate death traps, engaging in Bourne-esque rad chase scenes and generally being charming and bad ass as all get out. Have Samuel L. pop up now and again and you just up the testosterone-tastic manliness of it all.
Honestly, I do think this could work and be something of a break from the mainstream super hero movies we're seeing; it would be almost a Marvel Knights series off to the side you produce on the relative cheap, give a shorter run time and just have fun with. Years before Dark Reign was a glimmer in Brian Bendis' eye, we always wanted to see these characters go at it, and who better to make it happen than Renner and Farrell? It could be a lot of fun.
Heck, cast LL Cool J as Luke Cage and go for the full-on S.W.A.T. reunion! Has anybody actually seen that movie and could it be a conceivable prequel here?
Regardless, as long as I get to see Farrell's Bullseye again, I'm on board.

Iron Man & Magneto in Restoration
So I've been doing a bit of research, and apparently at some point Tony Stark and the Master of Magnetism took a trip back to the 17th century where they engaged in some court intrigue, got some British ladies pregnant, and maybe helped cure the Plague (I'm not entirely sure). Also, they grew their hair long and wore robes.
I've got to apologize in advance, guys, because honestly I think I'm gonna keep doing these until they cease to be amusing (a moment I sense may have come and gone) or every film in history is actually incorporated into Marvel movie continuity. Enjoy the ride!

Captain America & Black Widow in The Nanny Diaries
A random thought struck me this morning that this totally happened:
Chris "Captain America" Evans played the male romantic interest for Scarlett Johansson in this 2007 kinda-romantic comedy that I totally saw because Megan wasn't feeling well and I wanted to cheer her up (and she really wanted to see it). I am now replaying as many scenes as I can remember in my head with Evans' character as Cap and ScarJo's as the Black Widow.
It occurs to me that now that more or less the entire Avengers cast is out there and it's a pretty diverse group of actors, this type of thing could become a regular occurence as I scan through the film archive of my brain, and that makes me somewhat excited. I am a man of simple pleasures.
