As a lifelong Marvel fan who has witnessed the universe expand and evolve over the years, I can’t help but feel a surge of excitement at the prospect of Glenn Close and John C. Reilly reprising their roles as Nova Prime and Rhomann Dey in the upcoming MCU TV series, “Nova.” Their absence from the Guardians franchise has been a sore spot for many fans, myself included, and the idea that they might finally return to our screens is nothing short of thrilling.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been thriving since 2008, providing fresh content for cinema-goers and Disney+ subscribers alike. Despite some recent box office underperformances, the latest installment of “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” proved to be a hit. However, die-hard fans were puzzled as to why Glenn Close and John C. Reilly didn’t reappear before the trilogy concluded. Now, there’s talk that these actors may make their long-awaited comeback in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
In the initial “Guardians of the Galaxy” film, Close and Reilly portrayed Nova Prime and Rhomann Dey respectively. These characters were part of the Nova Corps and became crucial allies to the main characters, stealing many scenes in the 2014 blockbuster. They didn’t appear in subsequent films like the sequels, Holiday Special, or Avengers movies. However, whispers on Twitter hint at their potential return for the upcoming “Nova” TV series.
The report originates from trusted insider MyTimeToShineHello, who has accurately predicted several major franchise announcements prior to their public release. Although there’s no official confirmation yet from the studio, this potential casting choice aligns well with expectations. If a Nova Corps.-themed show is indeed in development, it would be logical to involve the two most iconic actors: Glenn Close and John C. Reilly.
Though it’s merely a speculation at this point, it certainly stirs up anticipation among long-standing Marvel Cinatic Universe (MCU) enthusiasts. Over the years, cinema-goers have been meticulously following the MCU movies in sequence, eagerly awaiting the appearance of Nova Prime and Rhomann Dey. Regrettably, these characters were absent during the sequels featuring the Guardians, despite their initial promise. Intriguingly, James Gunn hinted that Close almost made a cameo in “Guardians 2,” but the scene was ultimately removed from the final cut.
Fans had anticipated that the Nova Corps might appear in either Avengers: Infinity War or Endgame, given Thanos’s universal threat. However, although it seems Thanos visited Xandar to acquire the Power Stone, this was not shown onscreen. Yet, Karen Gillan, who plays Nebula, returned for footage used in the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind rollercoaster.
If Nova unites with the Guardians of the Galaxy cast, it could potentially function as a follow-up to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. This could significantly enhance its audience appeal, as fans are eager for any insights into the fate of their cherished cosmic heroes post-Guardians 3’s conclusion. Although the team achieved a happy ending, viewers remain hopeful that they will reappear in a future Marvel film. Thus, even subtle references to Rocket and his crew in Nova would be incredibly thrilling for fans.
The upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe film, titled “Captain America: A New World,” will be released in theaters on Valentine’s Day, February 14th. Make sure to mark your calendars for future movie releases in 2025.
