Nova has been one of the most highly requested MCU additions for years. Those wishes were seemingly granted when fans learned Marvel Studios was developing a Nova project that 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 the Nova series.

Avengers: Doomsday cast member Tom Holland has a busy schedule this year, so the film may take a page from The Mandalorian to film Spider-Man scenes.
Scooper MyTimeToShineHello claims former Superman and Justice League actor Henry Cavill is being considered for a role in the Nova MCU series. The scooper recently claimed Wicked actor 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 in Black 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 a cameo appearance in Deadpool and Wolverine as 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 possible MCU roles such as Captain Britain.
If Cavill isn’t being considered to play Richard Rider in the Nova series, he’s likely up for a supporting role on the show. There are many MCU 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.
Nova is in development at Marvel Studios.
