Dear People Who Make Movies: Please Make Origin Stories For These 22 Characters That Deserve Them

Give them their time to shine.

Recently I asked the BuzzFeed Community which characters deserve their own origin story. I wanted to know who you thought should have their own dedicated movie, villain or not!! Here are the best suggestions — HOLLYWOOD PPL, take note, and make our dreams come true.

1. The Other Mother from Coraline:

Laika

"I would love to see her origins and how she lured the children in and made them stay — only to see what happens when she got tired of them. This would be a straight-up horror because we know in the end what happens to the children: They don't get to escape like Coraline. The ending shot should be similar to the opening scene where she prepares a new doll for the next child we know she captures."

2. Maui from Moana:

Disney

"I specifically want to know the backstory of Maui and Tamatoa. They got along swell and then Maui ripped off his leg. ¿Por qué?

—asnizzysnazz

3. Dr. Evil from Austin Powers:

New Line Cinema

"So many questions about Dr. Evil. Since he spent six years in evil medical school, does that mean he originally wanted to practice medicine? What changed his mind? And what is evil medical school?"

—mollymcduck

4. Gunilla Garson Goldberg from The First Wives Club:

Paramount

"I want the Gunilla Garson Goldberg story (the original first wife from First Wives Club, played by Maggie Smith). Not a villain, but interesting!"

—katees2

5. Mother Gothel from Tangled:

Disney

"A Mother Gothel origin story would be SICK, especially with some new songs!"

—thefunkyonion

6. Inigo and Fezzik from The Princess Bride:

20th Century Fox

"William Goldman included brief origin stories in a later edition of the book, so the plots are half ready to go!"

—kkat22

7. Captain Hook from Peter Pan:

Disney

"How did he end up in Neverland? Why does he hate Peter Pan so much? What exactly was he doing when he lost his hand to the crocodile?'

—yankee1982001

8. Haymitch from The Hunger Games:

Lionsgate

"Would be interesting to hear about his games, since it was a quarter quell, and his life after until the books start up."

—aprilmarie2018

9. Debbie Jellinsky from Addams Family Values:

Paramount

"One of my favorite villains ever."

—mehwhocares

10. Léon from The Professional:

Gaumont Buena Vista International

"I would absolutely love to know what made him want to be so isolated, how he became a cleaner, etc. It could be so interesting, and his ambiguous character is practically begging for an origin story."

—loulabelson

11. Lettie Lutz from The Greatest Showman:

20th Century Fox

"The Bearded Lady from The Greatest Showman. IDK why, but I think it would be interesting."

—lil.hufflepuff

12. Luis from Ant Man:

Marvel

"OK, everyone, listen up. Luis, played by Michael Peña, deserves not only his origin story but his entire own series. He steals every scene in every single part of the Ant Man movies."

—jamesarthurwrites

13. Yzma from The Emperor's New Groove:

Disney

"Would watch the hell out of an Yzma origin story."

—jennr4ab11fa64

Fox Searchlight

"I'd like to see her side of the story."

—purplepaperplane

15. The agency in Cabin in the Woods:

Lionsgate

"The agency responsible for the sacrifices and the monsters in Cabin in the Woods. I would love to see the team responsible for setting up the scenarios and making sure everything goes to plan."

—monikap6

16. Ursula from The Little Mermaid:

Disney

"Ursula! She’s a badass businessperson, and I’d love to know where she came from."

—adriana_cc

17. Jafar from Aladdin:

Disney

"Definitely Jafar from Aladdin."

—Anime Girl

18. Bill Cipher from Gravity Falls:

Disney

"Because a) Gravity Falls was magic and b) Bill is a great villain, but why is he so great?"

19. Mother Russia from Kick Ass 2:

Universal

"Anyone else wanna see the origin story for Mother Russia from Kick Ass 2? Just me? OK."

—Blue Wilde

20. Merry and Pippin from Lord of the Rings:

Warner Bros.

"I would love a show called 'Shire Folk,' and it's basically about Merry and Pippin's antics, getting into trouble and such."

—Amsterdaniel

21. Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter:

Warner Bros.

"Luna Lovegood! Pleeaassseeeee! Such a badass character and barely gets any credit for it! She is smart, and her backstory would be super interesting!"

22. Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs:

Orion Pictures Corp. / Everett Collection
