Avengers: Endgame - Everything You Need To Know About Black Knight
6. He Has Ties To Captain Britain
Marvel Comics
Last year there were rumours that none other than Guy Ritchie was in talks to helm a Captain Britain movie for Marvel, and though they too should be taken with a whole lot of salt (let's make it a bowl this time), the fact that Black Knight could appear in the MCU may also lend support to the theory that the film actually is in development.
But for what reason? Well Black Knight and Captain Britain actually share a lot of history, with the two having served together on the original Defenders back in the team's early stages. Afterwards, the pair went on to do the same again in 1996 with the founding of MI-13, an off-shoot of the UK's Secret Intelligence Service that recruited from the country's meta-human population, so they have a pretty solid relationship in the comics.
The same report that claimed Ritchie was involved in the production of a Captain Britain film also purported that Black Knight would appear as a supporting character, and an appearance in Endgame would certainly make his arrival easier.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
