As much as I've grown to loving Captain Marvel, I think that Marvel missed an opportunity not Giving That Movie to Nova.

[@thesuperframe]

I could make an entire video on how everything captain marvel has done nova could also do/has done in the comics, flies through ships ✅ shoots energy from hands ✅ glows yellow ✅ disappearing from earth for 10+ years to be a space hero ✅ + introducing him in between between IW and endgame would’ve been perfect to tell this tale

[@ryanlennox]

@@thesuperframe I’d like to see dacre Montgomery play Richard Rider and set the movie in the 1980’s and the soundtrack should 80’s Thrash metal I mean Xandar has been destroyed before so thanos would destroy Xandar completely Richard Rider is not a gen z kid it’s just not his character

[@applepie1272]

ANOTHER REASON: When Thor said "He decimated Xandar" wouldn't be cool to see what actually happened to Xandar after of Thanos invasion? just Thor saying "poof, ur planet is ded" to the first guardians movie without even an emotion is just a missed opportunity for a Nova movie to see the perspective of the planet getting fucked up I could go on and on but u get the point, its a missed opportunity than CAPTAIN LARSON

That is an amazing idea and it really needs to happen.

[@REaDComicsau]

Kevin Feige actually told an interviewer that Nova has immediate potential and they aren’t straying away from the cosmic side. I’ve always wanted Garrett Hedlund to play Richard Rider/Nova and Daisy Ridley to play the very underrated and underused character Ko-Rel.

To me that comment means nothing, he’s said that about every property that gets suggested to him 🤷🏻‍♂️

Your pitch would make a KILLER Nova franchise. I would be glued to my seat if Marvel Studios goes with a storyline that’s aligned with your rendition. You knocked it out the ballpark-home run!

[@thesuperframe]

UPDATE: we’ll this aged well, looks like we’re getting Nova in the mcu Making this video has been a nightmare but well worth it, computer crashed twice editing this !! if you dig the video give it a share, good word of mouth goes a long way with making marvel hear that we want a Nova movie !!! EDIT: Please everyone read the 2007 Nova series, you'll get a great feel for every aspect of Nova and Richard's story/journey, plus the potential and power this character offers

[@prestamopositivo4932]

Let me tell you that is a really good vídeo . Question are you gonna do a series review about Xmen the animated series

[@presidentmg555]

Well looks like THIS hasn’t aged so well either. We might still be getting Nova but it’s now two years later and not only are we not getting any Nova news, but also Marvel is definitely straying away from the cosmos towards the multiverse. I hope something changes tho, i would love to have Nova in the MCU and this is a perfect pitch!

[@davidpap5369]

Dude, Rich is seriously underrated, hope he gets introduced. Although if Nova gets to the MCU it will probably be Sam.

[@trevturp6891]

Mitch, not rich.

[@matthewtapia1669]

I mean if they wanted to carry a younger audience Sam would be introduced but if they wanted to be comic accurate richard would be introduced first .

[@rubberduckproductions544]

I’d prefer Sam, he’s just my preferred character, and if it was made now he could have his relationships with Kamala and Miles (Kamala Is confirmed and miles is hinted at)

[@ricardoramos1059]

Nova in MCU: luke skywalker journey, him going from spiderman esque to almost cyclops in attitude. A coming of age story for a character who wants the oportunity to proof his worth but grows out of his ego into a selfless hero of the cosmic marvel universe a star of hope in the universe. Also if they had done an older richard rider i can see him totally scolding peter quill for his attitude and aproach with the guardians, telling peter out right this isnt a game and he needs to grow up before his mistakes cause irrepairable damge hell regret all his life lile in endgame.

[@Avarn388]

I look forward to this. I love Nova especially Richard Rider.

[@MarvinMartinez2001]

It’s official Nova is coming to the MCU!!!

[@johnhargrove5268]

Id love for you to make an Annihilation video. With the GOTG, Captain Marvel, Adam Warlock, and Silver Surfer. With Nova as the lead.

[@ChrisComicShop]

Thank you for this video, Nova (both of them) are among my favorite Marvel characters and it’s frustrating that there hasn’t been a follow-up to the Corp and Xandar since the brief mention in IW. Hopefully we see some Nova stories soon!

[@gingerjesus6035]

Him and Hulking are my most wanted characters

[@valdemarjorgensen5764]

It'd be really cool if you did a small breakdown of your hypothetical timeline of the MCU, also love ur vids btw!

[@rockymaffitt3345]

Even though I grew up reading New Warriors , I think Sam Alexander has a much more compelling backstory and fits in better with the MCU. Sam's dad was a Nova Centurion and it ruined him. Inheriting a legacy of trauma and still being a hero. That's the story I want to see.

[@micpar2]

I bought Nova #1 when it first hit the stands on Tuesday June 15h, 1976. I was three months shy of being 15. I grew up a huge PP/Spidey and Hal Jordan/GL fan too. So I loved Nova also growing up. Watching the 1950's Rocketman/Commander Cody republic Serials in reruns on tv. Back then in the 70's 80's a young Dennis Quaid would of been perfect to play Richard Rider. Quaid was in Breaking Away in 1979 and Dreascape (1984). Today I'd cast a totally unknown who can act and who actually looks like Richard Rider. Back in 79 Marvel even put a ad in Variety magazine trying to get a Nova movie made.

[@thatonkgau5221]

Richard Ryder should have been brought into the MCU during the Infinity saga. He's a Incredible underrated character with so much potential who needs more attention.

[@afxx372]

Do an Inhumans story and cast breakdown please

[@adityabhattacharaya4044]

This actually makes sense, and the casting is real solid here. Youve done a great job explaining why marvel should utilize this opportunity to introduce Nova. However, I'd like to see an exact video of Sam Alexander as well and how it should be picked up by Marvel.

[@romeoalpha68]

We need a Nova ( Richard Ryder ) movie as soon as possible . Hopefully in Marvels because it doesn't look like we're getting him in GOTG 3 .

[@christopherryancabrera2117]

Remember Xandar? It's the planet that got destroyed by Thanos in Infinity War. All of its inhabitants were perished except one. The survivor is Rohmann Dey. He brought the Xandarian World Mind when he escaped. His space ship crashed in planet Earth then he was rescued by a highschool football player named Richard Rider. Rohmann thinks Richard is the perfect candidate to become the superhero Nova so he gives the Xandarian World Mind to him to use its powers for good.

[@ZylecLane]

Does anyone think Marvel would do both Sam and Richard at the same time? Like keep Richard in space and have Sam be more Earth-bound?

[@MasterOfAnomisty]

I love this pitch but if I ever did Nova, I would base it off of the Nova: Origin graphic novel about Sam Alexander but instead of a movie, make it a Disney+ series so we can have more time to expand more on Richard Rider and the history of the Nova Corps and Xander. I personally love your pitch a lot more though

[@paulschild8924]

This and the X-men videos are some of my favorite Please make X-men part 3

[@midknight2115]

Nova is one of my favorite characters

[@carlbloke8797]

This is a solid movie with great ideas on how a Nova movie should work for MCU. One nitpick though is that I think a missed opportunity with your video was not having Nova’s UMVC3 theme as part of the background music

[@aidanshea5942]

I think a thing that probably won't happen but could be interesting is if a Nova movie addressed things like police and military reform, Like after Thanos' invasion of Xandar, the Nova corps have become more militarized and have basically declared martial law across the galaxy, and it's up to Richard try to change them for the better?

[@fictionverse7292]

This would be like Green Lantern, but a Luke Skywalker like story being the last Nova as Luke was the last Jedi

[@FS_shore]

This actually made me so excited to see a nova movie!! And I did not know a lot about the character before this

[@BCoats]

If Marvel's going to make a Nova movie. Captain marvel needs to be in it.

[@andrews4717]

I hope we can get a Sam Alexander Nova film after the Richard Rider film. Sam is my personal favorite Nova

[@odessondiaz2553]

I can see this as a continuation to the cosmic side of marvel seeing that both eternals and captain marvel flopped and guardians of the galaxy 3 being the last for james gunn i think nova can fit this new role well as the cosmic side of marvel that seems to begin a new build up

[@smickler8366]

I feel like if they do Nova in the mcu now they will start with Sam instead of Richard or they’ll have Richard be Sam’s mentor/ father figure in a buddy cop style Nova movie.

[@isinganddootherthings4616]

I like the idea of the nova force came from the power stone it'll explain how he is as powerful as captain marvel

[@whatdidyousay1235]

This pitch was awesome. Waiting for the pitch of the 3rd mutant movie of your x-men series

[@ryanlennox]

It should be set in the 80’s and soundtrack should be metal

[@lightyearpig12]

shame,i tough he was in the latest what if episde btw it would be bad ass to see anahilus in the mcu. and i love your enduring idea of having nova in the mcu.

[@TheTwistedArcade]

I would retcon Nova to have been in the MCU the whole time like Cpt. Marvel so that he could be an adult nova and he can train Sam Alexander as his buddy cop sidekick. I like introducing them as a pair instead of dragging out the introduction of multiple novas over several movies. I think richards backstory could be a flashback B plot in a Men in Black style buddy cop with him being the lead and Sam being the co-star.

[@HenryLouis21]

That doesn't make any sense because the Nova we see in Guardians Of The Galaxy is nothing like the Nova in the comics, so to have Richard be Nova for some time doesn't make sense because he doesn't have a powered helmet yet. Just have the movie center around Richard Rider at the start of his journey and have him grow into an adult and a hero through his story. I don't mind "hero being a hero for some time" but it's becoming stale and just another lame scapegoat for Marvel to do because they don't want to do origin stories.

[@infernosstopmotions]

A potential story would be sort of need to be a way to not hold a all in origin as the Nova story is sort of in the middle already with xandar destroyed I feel like your initial point of some Nova centurion chasing a some supervillain like in the comics to earth . But instead have him too injured to carry on so he has the xandarian world mind deputise Richard Ryder following the comics instructed to capture the villain . He brings it back to xandar this being before Thanos . Then it could like the Nova corps aren't convinced to let him be a Nova centurion . So Nova Prime allows him an opportunity to join by completing Nova centurion training where Roman day mentors him giving him the emotional connection to make it that much sadder when he died to Thanos. It could follow with the attack on xandar and see the epic fight between the Nova Corps and Xandar and have Richard Ryder be the last survivor in the whole Nova corps he becomes Nova Prime and the xandarian world mind uploads into him . he is leaving to warn earth he gets blipped once he returns he rockets to earth and as he arrives he catches a ship leaving which has Gamora in it they meet and start this love affair that happens in annihilation wave comics which adds emotional tension when Nova meets the guardians especially Peter .

So I just came here when I heard they announced an upcoming Nova movie, and I hope they take this idea of yours when making Nova.

[@andrewyoungccm2314]

This is great. I think I would say do the entrance opening a little differently. I say start it on a black screen, with a voice over saying something like “Richard Rider it is critical you take action.” Then it’s a POV of eyes blinking open to a destroyed Xandar. Then flash back and forth to the past for the origin story and the present of a destroyed Xandar after Thanos destroyed it with Chitarui in the place of the Annihilation Wave. He is following directions to absorb the entirety of the Nova Corps. Then you have it run a similar story to annihilation conquest in the years following the snap. After GotG 3 you can have it start the beginnings of the Annihilation storyline.

whilst I think thats very likely, I feel like Richard is a pillar of the marvel cosmic sphere that sam just isn't yet, richard has a legacy, a legacy that is grand and epic and needs to be shown on screen. Richard is more than a fun marvel hero, he's complex, traumatised, brave and rich with story possibilities

[@alexandrefrauches132]

@@thesuperframe Yeah, but they will probably choose Sam Alexander over Richard Rider, for two reasons: 1) I heard some rumors (nothing official) that MCU have some plans for Nova and they were looking for a young actor to play him wanting for the hero to have a friendship with Spider man which fits more Sam's character than Richard (specially considering that Sam and Peter worked together in the Ultimate Spider man cartoon). 2) Sam's whole story, involving his father being a member of the Nova corps fits a central theme in most of this phase 4 movies about family and legacy (ex: Black Widow and Shang Chi)

If they will follow the storyline of Infinity War the possible Nova would be Richard Rider. Rohman Dey, the last Xandarian, escaped from Xandar that destroyed by Thanos. He escaped along with the Xandarian world mind then his space ship crashed in Earth. Then Richard rescued Rohman. As a sign of gratitude Rohman Dey gives the Xandarian world mind to Richard and he teach him how to use its powers. Then Richard becomes the superhero known as Nova.

I am writing my own Nova script based on your ideas and I was thinking, what if instead of Sphinx being the main villain, what if Zorr The Conquerer was the villain of this Nova movie. Since Thanos was the one who destroyed Xandar but it was saved by The Watcher, it would make sense to have Zorr come in and finish the job since he destroyed Xandar in the comics.

[@jonbonda1917]

With access to the Power stone and learning from the Guardians of the Galaxy that the power can be used if it's shared with at least several ppl. The Nova Corps will try to duplicate how Captain Marvel gained her powers. Several years ago, Captain Carol Danvers rebelled against the control of the Kree's Supreme Intelligence AI. She helped the Nova Corps defeat the Kree Empire. Before Carol destroyed the Supreme Intelligencem she was trying to ensure that it can't control her again, she got help from the Nova Corps to understand how her powers work. Since the Nova Corps didn't have access to an infinity stone, it didn't seem to matter for Carol to share that information. With Quill giving up the power stone to the Nova Corps, they tried to duplicate the process in which Carol got her powers. Similar to the mind stone, there's an intelligence or sentience that resulted in Ultron and Vision. The Nova Corps initial experiments created the Xandarian WorldMind AI. Obviously there were failures that got a lot of volunteers burnt out until they figured out the number of ppl needed to share the power. As Thanos wiped out the empowered Nova Corps to get the power stone, the power from the dead Nova Corps merged with the lone surviving member and this empowered him to be near the same power level as Captain Marvel. By the time Nova had finished slowly getting the power up, it was too late as Thanos already wiped out half the universe and he was killed soon after he destroyed the Infinity stones.
