FAN CAST: Captain Britain Movie

Here are my all British picks for the cast of a Captain Britain movie!

Michael Fassbender as Captain Britain (Brian Braddock)

CaptainBritain


The character was originally meant to be the British equivalent of Captain America. Endowed with extraordinary powers by the legendary magician Merlyn and his daughter Roma, Captain Britain was assigned to uphold the laws of Britain.

Kate Beckinsale as Betsy Braddock

BetsyBraddock


Initially a supporting character in the adventures of her fraternal twin brother, Captain Britain (in which she briefly substited for him in the role) she later became the mutant superheroine Psylocke.

Keeley Hawes as Meggan

Meggan


Born in a blizzard to a Roma family near Fenborough Station in Britain, Meggan adapted to the cold by growing fur, to the horror of her family. Eventually, she met Captain Britain and fought him, but then befriended him. She fell in love with him, joining him as an adventurer, stabilized her powers on an attractive form that pleased Brian (and thus pleased her)

Gerard Butler as Jamie Braddock

JamieBraddock


The elder brother by a decade of Brian Braddock and Elizabeth Braddock, he is a mutant who has the ability to manipulate reality. Unfortunately, he also believes that the "real world" as we perceive it is nothing but a dream and that he must be the one dreaming it, which makes him essentially insane.

Ryhs Ifans as Dai Thomas

DaiThomas


A police officer who is normally a close ally of Captain Britain.

Burn Gorman as Pete Wisdom

PeteWisdom


Wisdom is a former British Secret Service agent with the mutant ability to throw "blades" of energy ("hot knives") from his fingertips. He is later ordered by MI-13 to find and team with Captain Britain.

Jason Statham as Slaymaster

Slaymaster


Slaymaster first encounters Captain Britain while carrying out an assassination, managing to defeat the Captain. Slaymaster confronts Captain Britain and defeats Betsy Braddock by gouging out her eyes. In a fit of rage Captain Britain defeats Slaymaster and kills him, crushing his head with a boulder.

Daniel Craig as Merlyn

Merlin


Merlyn claims to be the Merlin of British Legends and has served for many years as the Omniversal Guardian. Merlyn chose Brian to become Earth 616's Captain Britain and he would be pivotal to Merlyn's plans. Over the years, Merlyn manipulated Brian to become a stronger and wiser hero.

Keira Knightly as Roma

Roma


The daughter of Merlyn, Roma is the Omniversal Guardian, charged with the safety of the Omniverse. Roma, then calling herself "the Lady of the Northern Skies," appeared to Brian Braddock and offered him the chance to become a hero.

Kelly Reilly as Saturnyne

Saturnyne


She is the Omniversal Majestrix of Otherworld, and a servant of Roma, charged with the safety of the Omniverse.

So thats it guys! Let me know what you think. Thanks for reading!!

TheCritic17: Thanks! :) Fassbender is a brilliant actor (seen most recently in 'Inglorious Basterds' and 'Eden Lake') who I think would make a great Captain Britain!!! I know that Captain Britain isnt that well known (especially his supporting cast) so I hope the little bit of info after each pick helps a little!

LEE: I think that there's hundreds of Captain Britain's!!! (The Captain Britain Corps from different universes!) However, in the regular Marvel Universe, Betty Braddock was indeed once a Captain Britain before she became Psylocke!

@TEA, are you sayin' that Keira Knightly is bone-skinny and has teeth like a rake? lol

'Cause she can prop her body up in my doorway anytime and rake her teeth across my....oh, there I go rambling too.....uhhhhh.....what were we talkin' about now???
DDD
DDD - 9/10/2009, 5:40 AM
But seriouisly @Josh, great cast! I'm American so I'm not familiar with a couple of these actors.

But Fassbender is an awesome actor and so are Daniel and Gerard!

I swear I will never forget that outfit Keira wore in King Aurthur! Never! :D

thegreek: thanks man! :)

teabag:lol, good to see you back! i actually quite like Knightly as an actress (if she put on some weight she might also be pretty hot!) As a fellow Brit though, Im glad you like my picks! Cheers man! :D

DDD: I tried to make sure to pick all British actors for this cast so I guessed that there might be one or two you guys might not be too familiar with! Trust me though, they're decent actors! Fassbender has become one of my favourite actors recently and though Butler was suggested for the role of Captain Britain I think that Fassbender would bring a little more class and charisma to the role! Glad you liked my picks dude, thanks!!

BmanHall: I havent read his most recent series (though im planning on picking up the tpbs) but i would advise you picking up Alan Moores original run on Captain Britain...they're some great stories! (i mean the guy wrote Watchmen so its not suprising they're good, lol!)

Wow, not only don't i know most of these actors, i don't even know about their characters either LOL :P One question... why pick a 40 year old for Meggan??? Cause if that actress isn't 40, she better never go out in the sunlight again. She'll fall to dust LOL :P

I heard of Cap Britian but JOsh I honestly dont'; know jack about them. I do know they are part of Marvel, that is the end of my knowledge. I do like the pics!
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 9/11/2009, 2:34 PM
Ryden: Thanks! :)

bubastis237: dude, Britain is made up of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland!!!

LEE: it got dumped under Fan Fic where no one would see it so I got rid of it! Kinda suprised CBM didnt put it on the front page but Butler and Fassbender were bothe joint first! :D

spock: thanks, you should you check out Alan Moores run on the character! Its as good as Watchmen IMO!

Good cast, though I'd personally get Jamie Bamber (Apollo in Battlestar Galactica) as Brian/Captain Britain, Christopher Lee as Merlyn, and Natalie Dormer as Roma.
