Malcolm « Mal » Reynolds est un personnage de la franchise Firefly (la série télévisée Firefly, le film Serenity et les comics Serenity). Il est joué par Nathan Fillion.C'est le capitaine et le propriétaire du Serenity. Son statut d'ancien combattant d'une faction opposée à l'Alliance le prédispose à vivre en marge de l'espace contrôlé par cette entité géopolitique. Il montre une loyauté féroce envers ceux qu'il considère comme faisant partie de son équipage.
La tâche principale que s'est assignée Malcolm est de garder son équipage en vie et son vaisseau en vol. Comme le note le show runner Tim Minear, « il s'agit simplement de s'en sortir. Cela a toujours été la définition de l'objectif de ce qu'est la série — s'en sortir. ». Dans Serenity, Mal dit de lui-même : « [Si le] vent souffle au nord, je vais au Nord.
Biographie
Malcolm's main mission is to keep his crew alive and to keep his ship flying. As Firefly writer Tim Minear stated in an interview: "It's just about getting by. That's always been the mission statement of what the show is — getting by." In Serenity, Mal says of himself: "[If the] Wind blows Northerly, I go North."Screens from Serenity suggest that Mal was born on September 20, 2468–which would make him 49 at the time of the series Firefly–though this may be a transposition of 2486 (making him 31, an age more consistent with his appearance), since the information screen also misspells his name as "Malcom". Mal was raised by his mother and "about 40 hands" on a ranch on the planet Shadow. Though Mal usually seems more practical than intellectual, he occasionally surprises his friends by displaying familiarity with disparate literature varying from the works of Xiang Yu to poems by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, though he has no idea "who" Mona Lisa is.
Mal volunteered for the Independents army during the Unification War against the Alliance, gaining the rank of sergeant during that time. His loyal second-in-command Zoe was by his side for most of the war, surviving many dangerous conflicts with him. The show mentions three such battles, including the Battle of Du-Khang in 2510 (featured in "The Message") and a long winter campaign in New Kashmir (as told by Zoe in "War Stories") where he commanded a platoon. Mal was also involved in the ground campaign during the Battle of Sturges (as seen in the comic book Serenity: Those Left Behind), which according to Badger was the "bloodiest and shortest battle in all the war", although Mal considers it a distant second. Mal fought in many more battles, but the turning point for him and the Independents came with their physical and emotional defeat at the Battle of Serenity Valley on the planet Hera. On-screen information in Serenity shows him to have been attached to the 57th Overlanders Brigade; in the series pilot, Badger calls it the "Balls and Bayonets Brigade", though it is unclear whether that was a disparaging nickname coined by Badger himself or the actual unit sobriquet, a deleted scene in Serenity marks it as the actual unit sobriquet. It is unknown if the deleted scene can be considered canon or not.
After the war, Mal acquired his own ship, a derelict 03-K64 Firefly-class transport. Mal named the ship Serenity after the Battle of Serenity Valley, the decisive battle of the Unification War.

L'histoire se déroule en 2517, à une époque où les hommes ont fui la Terre pour coloniser de nouvelles planètes après un voyage de plusieurs décennies. Certaines planètes sont très avancées, mais beaucoup connaissent des conditions similaires à celles de la Conquête de l'Ouest américain au XIX siècle. Cet univers mélange de nombreux éléments des cultures terrestres : les billets de banque portent des symboles chinois, hébreux et arabes ; les deux planètes principales de l'alliance sont Sihnon (Sino, pour chinois) et Londinium (pour Londres) ; tout le monde parle couramment l'anglais et le mandarin, les confessions religieuses sont multiples, etc.
