Actor Mark Bonnar said he would like to reprise his role as Blackbeard in a future Assassin's Creed film or TV adaptation.
The Scottish actor, who lives in Hertfordshire, played the infamous pirate using motion capture in the Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag video game in 2013. On Thursday night, Ubisoft announced it would release a remake in July.
Netflix is currently shooting an Assassin's Creed TV series in Italy. It follows the success of video game adaptations such as The Last of Us and Mario Bros.
Bonnar told the BBC, prior to the game's relaunch: "I'd love to play Blackbeard [in a series], and I get really kind of jealous and annoyed whenever I see a pirate show."
Describing his role in the original 2013 game as "one of my favourites", he said: "Initially when I auditioned [we thought it was] for an animated series because they're so secretive about these things.
