ComicBookMovie.com: Comic book fans have been waiting for Captain Britain to step into the spotlight in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and a new rumour claims the character is finally coming to Disney+.
A new rumour shared by scooper @MyTimeToShineH claims that a Captain Britain TV series is in the works for Disney+. The project is a series centered around Captain Britain, potentially replacing the previously rumored MI13 show. That's all we have to go on for now, though we'd be shocked if Marvel's MI13 and Excalibur comics don't influence what we see.
The last significant update on Captain Britain came from Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige nearly seven years ago when he said, "We have discussed it. There are a lot of actors that come in and ask about that part, so we’ll have to see." It's unclear what's taken so long, particularly as there have been several opportunities to add Braddock to the mix.
One actor who may have asked Feige about the role is former Superman, Henry Cavill. "I’m never going to say a Marvel character that is already being played by someone else because everyone’s doing such an amazing job," he said in 2021 when asked about possibly joining the MCU. "However, I have the internet and I have seen the various rumors about Captain Britain and that would be loads of fun to do a cool, modernized version of that - like the way they modernized Captain America. There’s something fun about that, and I do love being British."
Captain Britain was created by Chris Claremont and Herb Trimpe and debuted in 1976. Endowed with superhuman abilities by the mystical Amulet of Right, Captain Britain is a patriotic hero who defends the UK and the Multiverse; however, it's Alan Moore's work on the character which put him on the map.

“For so long, my life has been out of control. Chaos and serendipity, wrapped in insanity. I have suffered, I have lost. Not just my life, but my very soul, my self. But no more. Now I know who I am.” – Elizabeth ‘Betsy’ Braddock, daughter of Otherworld, mutant, telepath, telekinetic, defender of the realm and, above all, X-Man.

OFC this is Brian, but you can't have Brian without Betsy. Betsy in the MCU. Yes, please.
And let me jumpstart the fancasting: Natalie Dormer. You're welcome.
Now we wait.
(Marvel's all in on the multiverse right now, and who is more multiversal than the Braddocks? I mean, they're so multiversal they're omniversal.
And I could see this having a very GOTG vibe... And it will if the showrunners have any sense.)
Wish the MCU producers don't drown Betsy in the magic abilities of Captain Britain and preserve her mutant powers like the mutant character she was meant to be. Mutant always comes first.
@FifthDream Natalie Dormer is a good choice, and she's about the same age as Cavill. I could also see Daisy Ridley, I've also seen people sugges Lily Collins, but I don't buy her in the role. A few years ago Kate Beckinsale would've been great
