I really want an adaptation of Matt Fraction's comic The Order, and I think it could work well as a Disney Plus miniseries.
It's from an era in Marvel comics where every state had a government chartered Avengers team and The Order is the California team, based in LA and deeply tied to the Hollywood mythmaking machine. The male lead is the guy who played Iron Man in some movies, trying to be a superhero in real life. The female lead is Pepper Potts. It has all sorts of meta stuff but it's not meta for meta's sake, it's a real neat look at the question of what makes a hero, and also at how Hollywood makes heroes and then consumes them.
And I think at this point the MCU has enough depth to let a show really poke at that in context. Also it'd be fun to have a good excuse to bring Gwyneth Paltrow back into the MCU.
