Avengers: Doomsday Writer Endorses Glen Powell for Nova in the MCU

The endorsement arrives during a pause in Marvel’s Nova plans, with no casting or format confirmed.

Overview

  • Michael Waldron said Glen Powell would be “a pretty good Nova” in an interview with The Playlist.
  • Waldron’s view carries weight given his MCU credits and his recent collaboration with Powell on Hulu’s Chad Powers.
  • Marvel executives have described Nova as developed but paused or subject to redevelopment, with no greenlight or production timeline set.
  • Kevin Feige and Brad Winderbaum previously indicated a live-action Nova was being targeted for the 2027–2028 window, though plans remain unsettled.
  • Powell has stated he has not been contacted by Marvel or DC, and plot or casting rumors circulating for Nova remain unconfirmed.
