Could Brandon Sklenar be the Nova we’ve been waiting for in the MCU? Rumors suggest the It Ends With Us star may be taking on the iconic hero in the upcoming Disney Plus series. With a potential release in 2027 or 2028, fans are eagerly anticipating Richard Rider’s live-action debut.

– The Nova series, focusing on Richard Rider, is set to premiere on Disney Plus in 2027 or 2028.
– There are rumors that Brandon Sklenar may be playing the iconic hero in the MCU, potentially beating out other rumored actors like Ryan Gosling.
– Marvel may be casting the role early to secure an actor for the long term, given the character’s potential future in the MCU.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) may finally be introducing the iconic hero Richard Rider, also known as Nova. After years of fan requests, it was confirmed last year that Nova would be getting his own Disney Plus series. The project has been highly anticipated, with fans eager to see Rider make his live-action debut.

Although details about the Nova series have been limited since its announcement last July, a few interesting tidbits have emerged. The series is expected to debut on Disney Plus in 2027 or 2028 and will center around Richard Rider, the original Nova.

The latest rumor regarding the series suggests that Brandon Sklenar, known for his role in “It Ends With Us,” may be taking on the role of Richard Rider in the MCU. While it may seem early to cast for a series that is still a year away from production, Marvel likely wants to secure an actor for the long term.

In addition to Sklenar, there have been rumors about actor Ryan Gosling being considered for the role of Nova. However, given that the character is set to lead a Disney Plus series, Marvel may opt for an actor with a more budget-friendly price tag.
