marvel captain britain Marvel TV Developing Captain Britain Series?

The Marvel Cinematic Universe‘s movie and television branches alike are in the midst of some serious expansion. In addition to the slate of Phase 3 films and new TV series in development like “Luke Cage” and “Marvel’s Most Wanted”, Marvel continues to mine its vast character stores for interesting new series.

Enter smaller yet popular properties like the Inhumans (“Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”) and the Defenders (“Daredevil” and “Jessica Jones”). Even their upcoming sitcom “Damage Control” could contain cameos from existing characters and introduce second- and third-stringers to the otherwise powerless superhero cleanup crew. As we’ve already seen a number of smaller run Marvel characters on TV, the possibility of Brian Braddock’s Captain Britain doesn’t sound entirely far-fetched. Continue reading →
