10 Best Marvel Characters Not In The MCU (And Who Would Play Them)
8. Nova
Nova is basically Marvel’s answer to the Green Lantern. He's is part of an intergalactic task force (the Nova Corps) that is charged with protecting the galaxy. The Nova Corps has already had a leading role in Guardians of the Galaxy but Nova himself is yet to appear.
As Infinity War looks to take on an intergalactic front it’s hard to see the Nova Corp looking the other way. What’s more, Nova is also basically a kid who found his dad’s old Nova suit and decided to take up the mantle. Could he potentially be worked into the world of the young Peter Parker in the upcoming Spider Man sequels? Why not.
Who could play him? Finn Wolfhard (Mike from Stranger Things, second from left above). Hear me out; yes he’s young (13) but Nova probably won’t enter production for another couple of years. This gives him plenty of time grow into the costume. He can handle the fish out of water part but can also play brave. And he’s the perfect age to attend Peter Parker’s high school.
