Rumored Casting Call Could Bring an All-New Team of Heroes to Marvel Studios ‘Nova’

While Marvel Studios Blade continues to struggle to get into production, a character whose “immediate potential” to enter the MCU predates the 2019 SDCC announcement of Blade is still waiting for an entry point. Nova , Marvel’s Human Rocket, was first identified by Kevin Feige as a character to keep an eye on at 2018’s premiere of Avengers: Infinity War and while the studio put the gears in motion on a streaming series over two years ago, little progress has been made. However, it sounds as though the project may be getting closer to lift off and a new casting call could point toward a classic late-80s, early-90s comic book team showing up in the streaming series.

According to insider Daniel RPK, Marvel Studios has brought a showrunner on board for Nova and in addition to having begun the search for the show’s lead, the studio is also searching for additional talent that has been described as a “group of young protagonists.” While there’s been no indication of whether or not the series will feature Richard Rider or Sam Alexander, the inclusion of a group of young protagonists could be a clue that it’s Rider and the group could just be…The New Warriors!
