Captain/Prince Nemo
for Captain/Prince Nemo in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
Suggested by lllaryn34

In an age of empire, when Britain’s power stretches across the globe, there are threats too strange, too dangerous, and too extraordinary for any army to face. To combat these shadows, the Crown forms a covert alliance — a gathering of legends, rogues, and monsters. At its head stands Allan Quatermain (Pierce Brosnan), once the greatest hunter in Africa, a man who believes the land itself will never allow him to die. Drawn from exile, he must lead a team whose brilliance is rivaled only by their flaws. Among them: Mina Murray (Marion Cotillard), a sharp-minded survivor of Dracula’s horrors, calm and calculating beneath her scars; Dr. Henry Jekyll / Edward Hyde (Tom Bateman), a man of science shackled to a monstrous alter ego; Hawley Griffin (Dane DeHaan), the charming yet dangerous Invisible Man; and Captain/Prince Nemo (Navid Negahban), a revolutionary prince turned sea-bound warrior, waging his own war against imperial tyranny from the deck of the Nautilus. The League is tasked with recovering a stolen piece of experimental technology capable of shifting the balance of global power. Their pursuit will take them through the gaslit streets of London, across lawless frontiers, and into the depths of the oceans — uncovering a conspiracy that weaves together crime lords, traitors, and the hidden engines of empire itself.
