for CID DCI Dai Thomas in MCU Phase 7: Captain Britain
Suggested by joeyfantana
Setting up one of the main icons of the next three-to-six phases (10 years) of the MCU and with the X-Men being a team series, Captain Britain is one of the few peripheral X-characters to have significant background and development to go it alone. It would also be a bit different. <br> <br>Narrative would follow the Braddock family, two of whom are coming to grips with their newfound mutant abilities. This property is one that might benefit from wholeslae changes, such as the ages of the Braddock siblings, and where Brian gets his powers from. One option is he is also a mutant. A more interesting angle might be that, seeing his siblings acquire great abilities, Brian hones his body and becomes a Batman-type vigilante until he acquires his super powers via Excalibur or some other ancient relic or entity. <br> <br>Jamie will obviously cause problems or be set up as a future threat and the movie would also introduce Meggan. <br> <br>Likely we will see the Knights Pendragon involved in some capacity but perhaps not in the traditional comic sense rather as unexpected villains of the piece. Another option is to introduce the Hellfire Club here and this would also be a means as to which Brian might encounter the source of his abilities.
