12/16/2023 0 Comments Captain britainMeanwhile, rumors persist that a live-action Captain Britain will enter the MCU in 2022 via Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness. The What If showrunners have revealed that Captain Carter will crop up again, in this and future seasons. Now, in its Phase 4, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is getting interested in the multiverse too - so it should come as no surprise that Captain Britain is finally getting his/her due. At the same time, most of Marvel's multiple worlds contain a Captain Britain they have banded together in a "Captain Britain Corps" to protect the multiverse. There is no one true Captain Britain the title gets passed around and is often held by female characters, making Peggy Carter's assumption of the role less surprising than you might think. Even now, the character lives a weird kind of halfway existence in Marvel comics. In short, Americans who've never heard of Captain Britain shouldn't feel bad neither have most British people. The future Watchmen and V for Vendetta author recruited this Cap into a surreal fight against fascism - and thanks to his own fight with Marvel, prevented us from seeing the story he crafted. After several floundering iterations, the character only came to life thanks to budding British comics genius Alan Moore. This was something Marvel struggled to understand when it first introduced Captain Britain to a skeptical British public in 1976. But never let them presume to speak for an entire nation - least of all one containing four countries with their own complex identity. Call them by their names ( Harry Potter), their titles ( The Doctor), or their secret number ( 007). Its fictional heroes may be super-powered, but they also cloak themselves in modesty. British culture has long seen itself in opposition to the egoism of America. Yet that's exactly what you'd expect from a true Captain Britain, who would be unlikely to assume such a flashy mantle. When agent Peggy Carter becomes a Union Jack-clad, Captain America-style shield-wielding superhero right at the start of episode 1 of What if, she insists only on a new rank: "Captain Carter." Technically, she's not called Captain Britain.
