Summary
TheNovaMarvel show is one of the most long-awaitedMCUprojects, and a new rumor claims the series' cast could add an actor fromZack Snyder’s Justice League.
Nova has been one of the most highly requestedMCUadditions for years. Those wishes were seemingly granted when fans learnedMarvel Studios was developing a Nova projectthat Kevin Feige later confirmed was planned as a TV series. This series will be centered on the Richard Rider version of Nova, but of course, the character won’t be alone. Now, a new rumor claims an actor who’s reportedly been circling the MCU for a while is being eyed for a role in theNovaseries.
ScooperMyTimeToShineHelloclaims formerSupermanandJustice Leagueactor Henry Cavill is being considered for a role in theNovaMCU series.The scooper recently claimedWickedactor Jonathan Bailey was eyed to play Richard Rider, so the fact that they did not specify that Cavill is a contender for the same role could indicate that the former DCEU actor is being considered for a different character. Of course, MyTimeToShineHello simply may not know if Cavill is up for the Richard Rider role or not, thus explaining the lack of specificity. It should be noted that official sources have not confirmed this claim, so fans should temper expectations.
Fans need not be reminded of Cavill’s tenure as Superman in Zack Snyder’s defunct DCEU. His last live-action appearance as the Man of Steel was inBlack Adam’s post-credits scene, but some fans have wanted him to join the MCU long before James Gunn officially took over DC’s film and television division and rebooted the franchise with David Corenswet now playing Superman. Cavill has long been a rumored and much-requested contender to play the MCU’s Wolverine, which became a brief reality when Cavill made acameo appearance inDeadpool and Wolverineas a variant of the character.
It’s unclear if Cavill has a shot of playing the MCU’s Wolverine for a longer period, as his cameo could be a simple nod to fans that won’t amount to anything more. Still, Marvel Studios is seemingly interested in working with Cavill, as casting rumors frequently bring up his name for possibleMCU roles such as Captain Britain.
If Cavill isn’t being considered to play Richard Rider in theNovaseries, he’s likely up for a supporting role on the show. There are manyMCU characters Cavill could play, so fans might want him to wait for a leading role. Still, Nova could use several characters from Marvel’s cosmic corner that are suitable for an actor of Cavill’s caliber. Regardless, rumors of Cavill joining the MCU never cease.
