Maybe Ewan Mcgregor?

 

[Ophelion]

For like 10 minutes.

Then he fights fairies, parades around the multi-verse, has an X-man team, it's also a proper legacy mantle instead of "Well Steve is done for like, 6 books".

Even this undersells the sheer unbridled weirdness of Captain Britain's adventures. He's up there with Doom Patrol in terms of providing that special flavor of madness only British Invasion comics creators have ever really provided.

That said, there is no way they'd let his show be that insane. God doesn't love me that much.

Maybe Ewan Mcgregor?

I can dig it.

 

[NMFried]

Maybe Ewan Mcgregor?

We have a winner. Everyone go home.

And his superpower is whatever he believes he can do.

But his wife can beat up The Juggernaut and Galactus

 

[Just_myles]

Do it and do it differently than the comic. He is a great character and as long as they keep to his better qualities, then he should be good.

 

[Mr Cola]

i cant imagine anything more cringe worthy

 

[Frozenprince]

His brother can throw reality at people.

 

[Slayven]

What about Captain Midlands?

His brother can throw reality at people.

In his underwear

 

[GeeTeeCee]

Could this be one of the rumoured ABC shows?

Please no, not ABC, I'd rather have nothing. Daredevil and Jessica Jones are so much better than the bland bilge trickling out of ABC Studio's beige content treadmill. Leave Brian alone.

 

[Mix Master]

Put it on Abc to let it die like AoS and agent carter. Put it on the Freeform network lmao,

 

[Frozenprince]

But... that misses the point.

It's gotta be that weird form of British 70's culture mixed with King Arthur or it shouldn't exist.

Dr.Who but with superpowers.

Warpies and Technet

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Maybe Ewan Mcgregor?

Definitely. There was a shop going around of him as Hank Pym/Scott Lang for a while that I really dug.

EDIT: Here it is, think he was rumoured for Edgar Wright's version of Ant-Man at some point

 

[excelsiorlef]

Kinda crazy they can use Captain Britain and not the rest of Excalibur (he's in Lego Avengers too). My Excalibur fangirl sister will go nuts with excitement!



Doctor Who crossover like the comics would be swell.

Excalibur was an X-Book. Braddock was created for Marvel UK so he's technically not an X-Character

 

[Lashley]

Please be good.

 

[Frozenprince]

God bless good crazy Claremont.

 

[Slayven]

People forget one of the realist moments in X-men history was when Slaymaster took Psylocke's eyes

 

[Macadinho94]

Maybe this was part of the deal for Marvel letting Fox do their X-Men tv show?

 

[PsychBat!]

Maybe Ewan Mcgregor?

one and done.

 

[Frozenprince]

Then got straight up murdered for it.

 

[Slayven]

I hate talking X history, makes me mad at how garbage the movies are

 

[Frozenprince]

Maybe the first line in the new movies once J-Law goes away and they reboot will make you happy.

 

[Pie and Beans]

No more ABC shit please. If its not Netflix, don't bother.

 

[Log4Girlz]

I'm sure it'll be great.

 

[VAD]

Marvel, please cast Matt Smith and Richard Madden as Brian and Jamie (not necessarily in that order).

 

[BKatastrophe]

I hate talking X history, makes me mad at how garbage the movies are

Yup

Comics made me tear up. Movies haven't done that. But I'm optimistic, so I can only hope.

 

[Father_Brain]

If this were real, it sure as fuck wouldn't be publicly revealed by some random costume designer on Twitter, lol.

 

[8bit]

tbf, imagine The Fury on TV or any of Moore's Captain Britain stuff showing up. Too good to be true.

 

[ghst]

hope he's a millwall top boy and EDL ringleader, played by a yank.

 

[Little Old Man]

Will he shit the queen and support breexit tho?

 

[Nekofrog]

Weird question that just popped up due to Kitty's early on involvement of Excalibur;

Who owns the rights to Lockheed? And Warlock? I'm assuming since 'lock was in X-Babies, he'd be FOX, but he's a cosmic character.

 

[water_wendi]

But no mad jim

That would be amazing so it would never happen.

 

[Busty]

This is absolute nonsense. It's nothing.

Spoiler

Ciara McAvoy (or whatever the fuck her name is) is an absolute crackpot of the highest order and has been for years. I know someone who had so much trouble with her in the past that they had to resort to 'legal means' to deal with her.

I cannot say anymore.

 

[PJV3]

Bananaman is the real British superhero.

 

[Discotheque]

Good lord. It makes more sense than ever why I disagree with y'all on this franchise lol. That was corny as hell. Cape comics can rarely ever get me emotional. Like ever.

That panel was cheesy imo. We are at an impasse on the xmen movies forever it seems haha.

Maybe I should read some Claremont stuff tho considering they've taken loose adaptations of his story lines and I've only really read Morrison and watched the cartoon aside from the films

...nah screw it. There's too much other stuff on my list.

 

[Rhaknar]

I hate talking X history, makes me mad at how garbage the movies are

wait... I have to agree with Slayven now?

 

[Zombine]

Black Knight could hardly make it to 5 issues. Marvel would never give him 13 episodes.

 

[pitchfork]

There's a Captain Britain?

 

[tolkir]

There's a Captain Britain?

And Captain Italy, Spain, France,... maybe some more.

We're talking about superheroes, you can expect anything

 

[Hot Coldman]

Surely this would be something developed in conjunction with ITV or Sky.

 

[Slayven]

And Captain Italy, Spain, France,... maybe some more.

France's national hero is actually Le Peregrine

Omerta is Italy's

El Aguila is Spain's

There are Captain Romania, Germany, and Syria though

 

[tolkir]

Those are superheroes from those countries, not super-soldiers like Captain America.

Marvel made a group with European Captains led by Captain Britain, named European Defense Initiative.
It didn't last very much.


Captain France

Captain Italy

Captain Spain

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Still waiting for an Iranian Marvel hero.

 

[Discotheque]

Still waiting for an Iranian Marvel hero.

They should make a riff of prince of Persia. Wouldn't be surprised if Slayven already knows of one.

The Ultimate universe blows and not worth remembering

 

[OriginalThinking]

So is the pilot going to be 60 minutes of him sipping on tea and queuing in a bank, wilst politely holding the door open for elderly women?

Spoiler

Don't hate, I'm British

 

[Busty]

What. Ever.

 

[Pork]

Looks like Ultraman Cosmos.

What would a Union Jack series be?

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Jeremy Paxman or Stephen Fry for the lead role please.
