Director claims 'Alpha Flight' interest

Splice director Vincenzo Natali has said that he wants to make an Alpha Flight movie.

Natali told MTV News that he would like to bring the minor Marvel team to the big screen.

"I have thought about that a little bit," said the director. "I'll put this out there: maybe Alpha Flight.

"For those who don't know, Alpha Flight is a Canadian superhero group and it was drawn by one of my favourite Marvel artists, John Byrne. He's a genius."

In mainstream Marvel continuity the team was wiped out early in Brian Michael Bendis's New Avengers run.
