![]() This is a role worthy of an able actor.Īs the supporting cast goes, Captain Britain has one in spades. Deep down the Captain is bright, tenacious, and noble-hearted, but he’s also frequently overcome with uncertainty, guilt, stubbornness, or uncertainty. The feeling of failure is something that becomes even more significant and profoundly illustrated in the form of a character whose powers are literally dependent on his ability to believe in himself. ![]() Most readers, or viewers (or human beings), easily identify with making mistakes regardless of whether they resemble CB or not. The Captain is a hero who, in the true Marvel mold, struggles tremendously with his insecurities. Since I happen to be the Captain Britain fan who’s writing this I guess it’s up to me to organize the case!īrian Braddock is an excellent Marvel hero. Most readers who have read the key Captain Britain stories and their extension in the work of Chris Claremont and Alan Davis on Excalibur will be happy to launch into a laundry-list of reasons. In any case he’s a flag wearing champion to challenge Steve Rogers or Mac Hudson. On other occasions, seemingly at Merlyn’s whim, they have been limited and enhanced by the Captain’s proximity to the British Isles, or (my personal preference) his self-confidence. Sometimes the Captain’s Thor-thrashing strength, speed, reflexes, senses, ability to fly, and virtual imperviousness are a straight product of these enchantments. His powers are mystical in nature, bestowed by the legendary wizard Merlyn and his daughter Roma via magic artifacts (or antediluvian, multidimensional super-science if you prefer) when they resurrected him following a fatal car crash. An orphaned member of the English aristocracy and physics student, Brian is not a mutant like his sister (and their older brother Jamie) though he has, on occasion, been identified incorrectly as such. X-Men fans may readily recognize the name Brian Braddock as that of the twin brother of the X-Men’s telepathic Titaness Betsy “ Psylocke” Braddock, but beyond his familial affiliation with the Merry Mutants Brian, as Captain Britain, has a rich history of his own. Well, I think I can make a rather strong case for this, and I suspect by the time I’m done making it many of you will be joining me in lobbying Marvel Television for an All-New Captain Britain television serial. “Why,” you ask, “should we be gung-ho for this relatively C-List character, that many of us have never read before?”. Knowing the character and his history as I do, I’m of the opinion that, as fans of Marvel Comics in general, and the 616 in particular, we should all be very supportive of the development of a Captain Britain series. I’m sure some among our esteemed Body Politic are as familiar with Captain Britain as I am (possibly too familiar), while others among you may have no knowledge of the character at all past what he looks like, and the bulk among us fall somewhere in the middle. – Chris Lark, Producer, Marvel Television Thanks so much also to for her help with this series project too. ![]() Thank you so much for your interest in #CaptainBritain and expect more news later this year and early in 2017. Right now we are in very early stages of development for this idea and working on things like the budget for this Reel to take to Marvel for 2017 with hopes of them helping us with the series. Ladies & Gentlemen I’m here to confirm that I and my co-prod Eleni Larchanidou are working on a Highlight Reel for a TV series based on the Marvel Comics character #CaptainBritain for 2017. On Thursday we heard form Marvel Television Producer, Chris Lark who indicated that the show is in the proposal and development phase, not fait acompli, with the following statement: Earlier this week Ciara McAvoy, a poster artist/graphic designer affiliated with Marvel Television made a few tweets suggesting that a Captain Britain television series might be joining the likes of Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Agent Carter and the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
