Get ready for a thrilling exploration of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and its potential future! The perfect Nova is revealed, and it's a choice that will spark debates among fans.
It's been a long journey since the Nova Corps first graced our screens in "Guardians of the Galaxy." Despite their promising debut, this respected peacekeeping force has remained on the sidelines, leaving one of its most renowned members in the shadows. Enter Richard Rider, an Earth-based hero and a stalwart of the Nova Corps, who joined the space police following the tragic death of Rhomann Dey, memorably portrayed by John C. Reilly.
The talk of a Nova Corps project has been a rollercoaster, with development halting and restarting intermittently. However, "Loki" writer Michael Waldron has stepped up to share his vision for the perfect Nova, and his choice is none other than Glen Powell, the star of Waldron's latest project, "Chad Powers," and the upcoming "Running Man."
When quizzed about Powell's potential role in the MCU, Waldron's answer was swift and certain: "He'd be a pretty good Nova." Given Powell's impressive body of work and his upcoming projects, this casting choice seems like a match made in comic book heaven. Not only would it be a dream come true for a film Powell loves, but it would also place him in a role strikingly similar to another comic book character fans have been clamoring for him to portray.
But here's where it gets controversial... Nova Corps offers Glen Powell the chance to become the Green Lantern we've all been waiting for. After his stellar performance in "Top Gun: Maverick," Powell shot to the top of fan-casting lists for DC's Green Lantern, Hal Jordan. However, with Kyle Chandler already cast as Hal Jordan in HBO's "Lanterns," the opportunity seems slim. So, why not give Powell the chance to shine as Marvel's answer to Hal Jordan, Richard Rider?
No matter which intergalactic force he joins, Powell seems to embody the essence of these space cops. And with the destruction of Xandar, the Nova Corps' home base, by Thanos before the events of "Avengers: Infinity War," Powell could step into the role of one of the last remaining members of the Nova Corps. Powell has remained open-minded about which comic book universe he'd like to join, expressing his admiration for both Marvel and DC. He's even praised "Guardians of the Galaxy" for its ability to make heroes "not [be] brooding or dark" anymore, a sentiment that aligns perfectly with the Nova Corps' ethos.
So, could Glen Powell be the Nova we've been waiting for? And this is the part most people miss... Powell's ability to dance to Rebone with the same flair as Chris Pratt might just be the icing on the cake! What do you think? Is Glen Powell the perfect choice for Nova, or do you have another actor in mind? Let us know in the comments, and join the debate!
