1. Steel in One of the New Justice League Movies - A long time ago, when Shaq was one of the most marketable athletes in the league, he appeared in a movie that involved him wearing a ridiculous metal outfit and fighting crime. It came around the time of the Death of Superman storyline. and several characters were spun out to fill in for Superman's absence, one of which was a character named Steel. Since Shaq was marketable and had a Superman logo tattoo, Hollywood thought it was a good idea to have him star in a movie based on that character. The movie flopped, but since we're in an era of reboots and mega-franchises, maybe resurrecting Steel under the Justice League banner would be a good idea. Who better to portray him than Kevin? Like, c'mon, wouldn't Kevin be an awesome superhero? (Photo: DC Entertainment)

2. Martin Lawrence's Replacement in Any Future Bad Boys' Movies - This sounds like some proverbial shade, but if you think about it for a moment, the current Ride Along franchise is essentially a more comedic version of Bad Boys. Seriously. With that said, consider Kevin teaming up with, well, probably not Will, but, say, Anthony Mackie, as they navigate through a Michael Bay masterpiece. (Photo: Columbia Pictures)

3. Cookie's Long Lost Brother in Empire, Who Also Wants What's His - Empire is such a soap opera that the likelihood of this happening is actually fairly high. Imagine for a moment that Philadelphia native Kevin Hart shows up at the offices of Empire with teary eyes and let's Jamal know he's his long-lost uncle, Dough. (Get it?) Before Jamal can say anything, it cuts to commercial. However, one must ask, is he really Cookie's brother? Why is his name Dough? Where was he all these years? Does he have a gift for breaking out into song-and-dance routines that serve as exposition? How will Lucious react? All that and more on Empire. (Photo: FOX)

4. A Potential Competitor Trying to Muscle in on Ghost's Territory in Power - Imagine a scenario in which a malicious nightclub owner named Spirit is looking to get his piece of the Big Apple. Ghost realizes it's all out war and will stop at nothing to protect what's his. In the city that never sleeps, the one that keeps people hungry is the thirst for power! Oh, and Spirit would be played by Kevin Hart.  (Photo: STARZ)

5. One of Olivia's Love Interests on Scandal, Who Must Cope With Her Commitment to Fitz - Imagine Kevin having to play a desperate and hapless successful guy who's constantly trying to hook up with women who are out of his league? You see where we're going with this. Now insert him into Shondaland and see if he survives. (Photo: ABC)

6. As an Ex-Baller on Survivor's Remorse  - Survivor's Remorse deals with a basketball player who's relatively new to Atlanta and must cope with the perils of stardom and his quirky family situation. It also stars Erica Ash (aka Bridgette), so if Kevin were to pop up as an ex-lover, it would make this even funnier. It would also be interesting to see Kevin, himself a one-time high school basketball player, add an interesting real-world perspective. (Photo: STARZ)

7. A Member of the Unsullied on Game of Thrones - The Unsullied is an army that is loyal to Daenrys Targaryen and her dragons. Kevin would be an interesting choice to fight alongside Greyworm and stop at nothing for the victory.  (Photo: HBO)

8. In Transformers as Slapstick Comic Relief - Back in 2014, Chris Rock joked that Kevin was in everything, even Transformers as a Prius. Well, we say, "Why not?" Maybe Kevin isn't fit to be an actual Transformer, but he could fill that awkward comedic role that Anthony Anderson and Ken Jeong filled in previous iterations.  (Photo: Paramount Pictures)

9. A Detective in True Detective - Weren't feeling season two? Maybe season three needs a dose of Laugh at My Pain? Sure, the idea of Kevin as a hard-boiled detective may sound absurd, but hey, Vince Vaughn was OK as a mob boss in the series, right? Kevin's already played a cop in several movies, maybe this is his time to act like a real one. (Photo: Jim Bridges/HBO)

10. One of the Leading Love Interests in Being Mary Jane - For one moment, just imagine what Kevin would say to get on Mary Jane's good side? He would probably make her laugh. In all seriousness, since Think Like a Man and About Last Night, this might actually play out well as a storyline. (Photo: BET)
