This would be a different angle on the usual superhero movies and not just because it is set outside of the US. It will be darker and grittier than movies like Spider-Man and Iron Man — kind of like Marvel’s answer to The Dark Knight.

Now here's a fresh idea. I like it. I can definitely see Butler in the role.

I can see the board meeting now..... 
So we have this character who runs around in a giant British Flag can is a icon to his country, you know I think we could make this a Dark film. WTF?!?!

I like IT!

I'd love a cap B film. That'd be awsome. However i'm not sure i like the idea of it being "dark". As a Cap B fan i never saw him as Dark. What i'd love to see is Cornell play a part in the production of this film. Is run of Cap B and MI13 was fantastic.

HELL YES. If this is just a wild rumor, castrate and hang whomever started it, because it's an awesome idea!

Hell yeah

Captain Brit needs some freaking rep cause hes a badass always has been, and he keeps getting the short end on everything. Every recent series has been cancelled even though it rocked.

So lets hope this works out.

and Definatly want Gerald

" If this happens, I demand that Jason Statham play Union Jack! Cap America movie, Cap Britain/MI 13 movie or otherwise! "

Is this under marvel studios or fox? Cap britan is a mutant which means he would fall under Fox studios, no? I wonder if they found a way around that if they did, give me an ALPHA FLIGHT MOVIE! Ya canada! ha ha
 
I think Cap britain could be dark, he fights vampires and dracula, thats pretty dark. Oh and Jason Statham as Union jack? great casting!!

Nice I kind of like that character's suit, although I don't know much about him

Eh'. I'm not for a solo movie.

Just no.

A Captain Britain movie never even crossed my mind until now.

Brians blonde?

" Right... but just that he's in the X-Men universe through Excallibur, could it be that Fox owns the rights? It could be possible that they leased the rights to everything X-Men related for films.   I personally hope it's Marvel who owns this character though. "

I'm all for a Cap Britain movie, he's always been an interesting character to me, along with Union Jack. I think he deserves it and Gerard Butler is an excellent actor.

 Gerard Butler in an X related film?! Heck yeah! This guy is great.  

I like Captain Britain and would really like to see a movie.

" Nice I kind of like that character's suit, although I don't know much about him "

What's a Captain Britain movie without Psylocke?

Captain Britain isn't a Mutant although his brother and sister are. He has spent alot of time being assosiated with the Xmen through his sister/brother/Jaspers/Xcalibur but he never started with any relation to them. His early years he was totaly self sustaining and had more to do with Spiderman. Captain america and the Black Knight than any Xmen. I wasn't until later that he became involved with the Xmen and in recent times he's had nothing to do with them again. Instead working with MI13. I'd love to see a film in which his origins are explored and hopfully has nothing to do with the X-men U.  I would personaly expect Marvel to have the rights because A, he's not a mutanr and B, he hasn't appeared in any film previously.
 
(If you want to know more about Cap B go to his discription on this site and you should find all the info about him you need)

Alan Moore's run on Captain Britain was pretty damn dark. I haven't read the early stories but I'm guessing they're quite campy (this right, feel free to say otherwise). In Moore's run you had the Fury killing superheroes, people dying all over the place and some harrowing scenes of reality falling apart. If they make the movie more like this era in Cap's life, all the better

How many European hero movies are there?
Definitely for this.

Well,  I don't mind the accent but:
 
A: Would he consider to wear a mask for the most part
 
B: Would they make him blond and without the beard 
 
C: Would his family (Betsy and Jaime) be in it
 
D: Would they make Betsy/members of Excalibur have a tie-in movie(s)
 
I think it's a good idea it gives you a sense of the world (which Black panther with show you too) and Captain Britain has his own book (i think?) so people are interested in him.

Id love this! Id hope they put in a british psylocke too, at least for a cameo!

hmm well I like Gerard, he could be good :D

I'd love a Captain Britain movie. I'm still heartbroken over the recent cancelation. That series was so good and they hardly had time to finish the arc!

no lol captain britain lmao  nooooo he's not captain america lol  this movie would put up no money at all finacial it makes no since 2 even try it

I'd watch it.

   I'd see it

Plus there are all the tie in movies that could come out of it.

Besty/pyslock
Lady Jacqueline/spitfire or the invaders
The captain America movie could be an intro if set during WW2
Doc Strange (all the magic connected to captain Britain)
MI13

Great casting choice but again putting a nationality in the title is never a good idea. I think that is what made Paul Cornell's series fail, sadly the american direct market isn't interested in British super-heroes. The only brit that has lasted has been constantine and only because he's a vertigo title these days
