So is there any news on a proper Nova dude showing up in the MCU? Rewatching Guardians reminds me of how he's not around.

Not even a little hint. They probably want to stay away from super powered space cop because the Green Lantern stink is still hanging around.

They are making a GL movie for this incarnation of the DCCU.

It will never get made. The whole thing is going to fall apart after Justice League.

Just :laffo: if you think
a) Justice League tanking would convince WB to drop their summer movie slate for the next 5+ years
b) Justice League won't make a billion dollars because the general public eats up DC poo poo regardless of quality

The DC murderverse is happening one way or another.

I don't see it on any major sites so take this as a rumor, but it's going around some places that The Batman is going to be rescheduled for 2019 and that they're going to do a full rewrite on it once they get a director.

They're not going to have a character in the MCU named Dick Rider, c'mon.

BvS didn't hit a billion and I don't think the addition of Cyborg and Aquaman pushes a movie to those heights.

You can decide whether you trust a review of the Lego Batman Movie based on whether the reviewer bothered to check that Condiment King, the Eraser, etc. are actually villains from the comics and not just made up for the movie.

I find comedies haven't abused "no seriously this is real" yet so that joke should be believable to people without them checking sources.

Yea, plus everything outside of Justice League sounds like its in complete chaos, and I could certainly see WB shoving out the movies in a barely finished form and normal people not bothering. Especially since Star Wars will probably be coming out fairly soon after JL is released.

The whole thing has been mismanaged from top to bottom, though I don't put any blame on the actors (except Jared Leto), as they generally seem to be trying their best with the material they're given.

And I would assume Sam would be the Nova they chose. He's been more in the for front than Dick, not to mention I expect Marvel to make a more kid friendly movie at some point.

Rider's also been dead for like 8 years so that hasn't helped his profile much. But they already introduced the Nova Corps, I just don't see them retooling that concept any time soon as they were kind of an afterthought in GotG.

You could easily have something happen to the Nova Corps in the GotG movies that necessitates them creating a super-cop. I can already see the dynamic once he teams up with the gang. He'd be obnoxiously by the book and putting the others on notice, etc.

A major superhero movie using the minority version of a character seems like it'd be slim chances, but it's a b-lister, so I'd give it 50/50.

Nope. He's actually said he likes Nova, but having another super-powered guy from Earth would take away from Star-Lord.

quote:

“I don’t want Nova right now because I think Quill being the only earthling is important. That serves the entire movie going audience and not just the handful of Nova fans. Sorry if that upsets you.”

Later, he followed up, “…And I have nothing against Nova in future movies, but it doesn’t serve the movie right this moment.”

He was talking about Guardians 2 here.

I said it was 50/50. But that's mostly a hyperbolic joke in and of itself. If they went with Dick I'd be genuinely surprised because no one caring about Nova is exactly what makes it the perfect opportunity to throw in some free diversity in there, and Sam is the one they've been pushing for ages.
