The last we heard of Nova he was supposedly primed for his own film. The character very nearly appeared in Guardians of the Galaxy and almost had an introduction in Avengers: Infinity War. Now, however, it looks as though Guardians 3 will see our first taste of the character.
Just to recap - here are the supposed new characters being introduced in James Gunn's next Marvel film: Adam Warlock, Beta Ray Bill, Quasar, the High Evolutionary and Nova. That's a lot of key characters to juggle around in, bearing in mind the threequel will also have to deal with what's become of the time-displaced Gamora from 2014.
Either way, Nova is apparently on the way. ScoopMaster made the claim in a reply to a Reddit user last week, also admitting that he's heard nothing regarding Namor being included in Black Panther 2 or the Thunderbolts getting their own film.
Nova fans are likely to have no qualms either way. The character is very obviously heading to the MCU at some point or another. Only time will tell if that introduction comes sooner, rather than later.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
