Juggernaut The Movie?

JugoIt looks like hints are being dropped about Juggernaut getting his own film. The invincible one has always been one of my favorite marvel villains and this is startling news for a Tuesday morn. We get the whispers from IGN:

The Internet is awash with rumours that there maybe a third X-Men spinoff planned; based around the character Juggernaut and starring Vinnie Jones.

The speculation started when director Joe Carnahan hinted he might be taking charge of the project on his personal blog. He signed off an entry with a picture of the Marvel super-villain and words “I’ll let you guys go nuts on this one…” (Read the entry here.) Suffice to say, many fanboys have. At present this is the only information we have — the director and Jones, who played the character in X-Men 3 — have not commented on the rumour.

Juggernaut is awesome, but I am wondering if he is a character that should have his own film. Would the X-Men make an appearance? I would certainly hope so, and if they are – I would like to see the same cast. Having a movie about Juggernaut sans the X-Men would be like having a movie about ED-209 without Robocop.

If this film does happen, I hope that it doesn’t get mired down with too much back story. I don’t care if Juggernaut wasn’t appreciated by his peers, parents or pets. I certainly don’t want to see him struggle with mundane issues that may be addressed on 90210 or the OC. I want to see him take immeasurable, incomprehensible amounts of damage and continue to fight. I want cities left in ruin and a wake of destruction wherever he may roam.

This project is still in the hearsay department so I do not want to get too excited, but what do you guys think? Is a Juggernaut movie a good idea, and if so, what would you like to see in the film?
