It Sounds Like CAPTAIN BRITAIN Isn't Coming To The Small Screen After All
Captain Britain may not be as well known as a certain other captain from across the pond, but a TV show has the potential to be pretty awesome. Unfortunately, it seems it's definitely not going to happen.
Yesterday, a Tweet sent out by poster artist Ciara McAvoy seemed to reveal that Marvel (or Fox depending on whether or not Captain Britain was lumped in with the X-Men rights; he does after all have ties to those characters) are developing a TV series featuring one of the UK's few superheroes.
Taking into account all of the mythological aspects of the character's history and the fact that he's been known to travel between dimensions as part of the Captain Britain Corps, there's no denying that this is an adaptation which has a ton of potential.
There's just one problem. It's not happening! According to TV Line, "Well-placed sources, however, assure TVLine that the rumor is 'not true.'" This isn't the first time we've seen a denial like this of course, but as much as I'd like to see Captain Britain on the big or small screen, it's hard to imagine that he's a priority for...well, anyone! We'll have to wait and see if he's destined for live-action, but for now, let us know your thoughts in the usual place.
