CAPTAIN BRITAIN AND THE BLACK KNIGHT Movie Rumored To Be In The Works From Director Guy Ritchie
Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has previously expressed interest in bringing Captain Britain to the big screen and now a new rumour claims that the hero is on his way to the MCU...with a friend!
Is Captain Britain the next superhero set to be brought to the big screen? Marvel Studios movies always do well in the United Kingdom and Kevin Feige is seemingly a fan of the character, so it could happen and one new report claims it's in the works! According to Ain't It Cool News (a reliable enough source in the past that's fallen off the radar in recent years), Guy Ritchie is being eyed to take the help of a movie revolving around Captain Britain and his longtime ally - and fellow Brit - Black Knight.
Space has reportedly been booked by Marvel Studios a Pinewood Studios in November and December to hold auditions for a project being referred to as Captain Britain and The Black Knight. Guy Ritchie is said to be the director booked in for those dates and Marvel is apparently looking to fill the space left by Danny Boyle's scrapped James Bond 25, a movie which has now gone back to the drawing board.
It's best to take this with a pinch of salt for now, especially as the site claims to have not vetted the information they were sent. It would certainly be interesting to see a Captain Britain movie become a reality and pairing him up with someone like Black Knight would definitely work. Ritchie has been working with Disney on that live-action Aladdin remake and he would be a good fit for a project like this and we know Marvel Studios has secretly put together its Phase 4 slate. Stay tuned for updates.
