There’s growing speculation about whether Henry Cavill will continue in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with whispers suggesting that he may be cast in the upcoming “Nova” series on Disney+.
Recently, Henry portrayed Wolverine in the movie “Deadpool & Wolverine”. It’s been reported that he’s had talks with Marvel about continuing in this role. Additionally, another source has hinted at similar news.
What does the rumor say?
A recent rumor about a potential casting has surfaced on MyTimeToShineHello; however, be cautious as it’s just a rumor. The source suggests that Henry Cavill might be considering a role in the Nova television series.

Might not be up for Richard Rider
While the report doesn’t explicitly state that Henry Cavill will play Richard Rider Nova, it suggests that he is being considered for a part. Therefore, it’s plausible that he might portray a different character instead.
In the comics, Richard Rider is approximately 22 during “Annihilation”, a storyline that the MCU appears to be adapting. However, the actors Marvel seems interested in for Nova are typically around 30-35 years old. While Henry Cavill is 41, this age isn’t too far off if they’re considering an older version of Nova. Additionally, it’s been rumored that Jared Padalecki, who is 42, has been considered for the role as well.
Be on the lookout for bait-and-switch
If they decide to use an older version of Nova, we should be cautious about potential deception – a swap-out that’s happened before with less popular characters like Sam Alexander, who was introduced around the same time as Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel, and others in the comics. These comics didn’t do well, and fans generally dislike these characters. Characters adapted from these comics into the MCU over the past six years have underperformed. Fortunately, it appears that Kevin Feige is moving away from the trend of focusing on diversity and inclusion, so hopefully, Sam Alexander won’t be included in the MCU.
Henry Cavill starring in Warhammer
As a film enthusiast, I’m quite excited about Henry Cavill’s ongoing development of the Warhammer series, which shares a military sci-fi tone with Nova. However, given that he might be cast in both roles, it seems rather improbable for him to play Nova and star in Warhammer simultaneously. Still, I can’t help but entertain the thought of seeing Henry Cavill excel in either role – it would surely make for some thrilling viewing experiences!
Apart from his role as Spencer Dutton in Taylor Sheridan’s “1923”, there are whispers that Brandon Sklenar might be cast as Nova as well.
Nova is compared to Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica
Although specific storylines remain undisclosed, it appears that Marvel’s TV adaptation of Nova Corps will deviate from James Gunn’s quirky approach. In fact, Brad Winderbaum has hinted at a resemblance between the series and both Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica.
Currently being created is an impressive amalgamation called “The Nova.” It carries hints of both “Trek” and “Battlestar,” yet it also evokes a sense of familiarity if you’re acquainted with the intensity of Richard Rider’s comic world, which it unquestionably embodies, as stated by Winderbaum, who leads Marvel in Streaming, Television, and Animation.
It has been announced that Ed Bernero, a renowned television writer, producer, and director who is recognized for his work on shows like “Third Watch,” “Criminal Minds,” and “Crossing Lines,” will be overseeing the show “Nova.” Notably, he was previously a police officer in Chicago, making him an ideal choice given that the Nova Corps are known as space police.
Another concern I have is the financial aspect. For “Nova” to be an effective space opera, it requires a substantial budget. It shouldn’t be on par with productions like “Agatha” or “Echo”.
What’s next for Henry Cavill
As a dedicated cinephile, I’ve got some exciting updates! Currently, Henry Cavill is down under in Australia, immersed in the live-action Voltron production. Post that thrilling adventure, he’s rumored to journey across the seas to the mystical landscapes of Scotland, where he will lend his talents to the reboot of the timeless classic, Highlander. Can’t wait to see these epic tales unfold on the silver screen!
