A Captain Britain movie from Marvel Studios has been rumored for the past year or so, and now what is claimed to be leaked test footage is being called a fake.
A Redditor posted video claiming Captain Britain test footage was left on a hard drive and given to a Pinewood Studios assistant. The Redditor claims that there are a âfew files on there,â with âa couple of gemsâ noting it âfits with the previous poster we saw.â
The Captain Britain test footage shows a cave with water dripping down when an actor steps into the light as Brian Braddock.
Additional footage shows the actor and Brian Braddock character drinking at a bar.
Redditors claiming to work at Pinewood Studios are stating the Captain Britain footage is fake.
âAs someone who works at Pinewood, I can guarantee that no official footage/teasers/posters would be left on a hard drive that would be given to an assistant that doesnât work for the production company. All drives are either wiped or taken with the production heads as soon as filming finishes, stop peddling all this Captain Britain stuff. Itâs obviously fake and a little embarrassing,â scarletwiccan replied. âEdit: Spoke to a production co-ordinator and the opening line in her reply was a huge âahahaha.â This is complete b-llshit folks, the OP clearly just wants attention. I recommend that we donât give it to them.â
Redditor CateBlanchomo added, âI was gonna say! Iâm freelance in the industry and seeing this gave me a heart attack on behalf of the Marvel crew. This is the ultimate no-no. Iâm glad you clarified this.â
âI know! The idea that anyone would trust an assistant with something like that is a little ridiculous. That being said, Iâve reached out to a couple of people at the Marvel camp to see if I can verify if this âtest footageâ is even real,â scarletwiccan said.
Apparently, the same Redditor that âleakedâ the footage also leaked the poster, so it seems as if this just be a false alarm.
Captain Britain test footage and poster:
Apparently literally left on a hard drive given to a Pinewood Studios assistant. A few files on there, most arenât anything special but a couple of gems. Itâs one of those mate of a mate ones so not sure how valid yet but Iâm on the case. Fits with the previous poster we saw though⊠from r/MarvelStudiosSpoilers

Captain Britain movie in development?
Back in September of last year saw a supposed leaker offer that Marvel Studios will be holding auditions for âCaptain Britain and the Black Knightâ in November and December over at Pinewood Studios in the UK with Guy Ritchie attached to direct. Obviously, November and December of 2018 came and went and no word was heard about the flick, so it seems as if the rumor is false.
Back in 2016 also saw it reported that a producer pitched a Captain Britain TV series to Marvel, but again, nothing has been heard since.
Orlando Bloom actually threw his name into the mix to play the character a while back.
