Not too long ago, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige said that he realises Captain Britain has a huge fan base and would definitely be willing to bring him to the big screen somewhere down the line. When and if that's actually going to happen remains to be seen but there's at least one person who would be willing to take on the role and that's Star Trek and Mission: Impossible star Simon Pegg.
At first glance, he's not exactly the best choice as he's a little too old for the role and probably nowhere near big enough but it's worth noting that it sounds like he'd be more than happy just having a role!
"I mean, Captain Britain was this Marvel superhero that I loved growing up, ’cause he was the British member of that community," the actor revealed in a recent interview. "I even have a Captain Britain mask when I was a kid, but I fear I would probably be slightly too old now, but if they do have… If a Captain Britain movie comes about, they’re gonna need a British cast, so… I’ll be waiting."
Can you think of any characters from Captain Britain's world who Pegg would be a good fit for? Do you think this is a character worthy of being brought to the big screen? Let us know your thoughts below.
