The Marvel Cinematic Universe<\/a> has more characters than it knows what to do with. Despite getting a solo movie all the way back in Phase 4 that\u2019s as good as anything Marvel Studios has put out in the last six years, Shang-Chi is still waiting around for his sequel. His consultation prize is landing one of the highly coveted chairs in Avengers: Doomsday<\/a>. Shang-Chi\u2019s role in the movie is a mystery at this point, but he\u2019s in the same boat as every other character, as the powers that be are being tight-lipped about the MCU\u2019s next big event. The only guarantee is that Doctor Doom will show his face and make life difficult for Earth\u2019s Mightiest Heroes.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to imagine that Doomsday will introduce many characters outside of Doom. After all, he\u2019s going to have his hands full with not only the Avengers but the Fantastic Four and X-Men as well<\/a>. However, there\u2019s always a small sliver of hope that a character that\u2019s been waiting patiently for their chance will get the call. One of Doomsday\u2018s writers even has an idea of who could play a hero that fans can\u2019t wait to see on the big screen.<\/p>\n

While promoting his latest project, Chad Powers, Loki\u00a0creator Michael Waldron spoke with The Playlist<\/a> and mentioned that he thinks Glen Powell would be a good fit for a particular Marvel hero. \u201cHe\u2019d be a pretty good Nova,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Nova already has significant ties to the MCU, with the Nova Corps appearing in Guardians of the Galaxy, helping the titular team fight back against Ronan the Accuser. The organization also makes its presence felt in the animated project Marvel Zombies. Marvel Studios has yet to pull the trigger on bringing Nova into the fold<\/a>, though, and the delay likely has something to do with the TV series about the hero that\u2019s hit a few bumps in the road.<\/p>\n

Having a rising star like Powell sign up would be a good way to guarantee that Nova doesn\u2019t sit on the back burner for much longer. It might not even take much convincing on Marvel\u2019s part, since Powell has mentioned his interest in playing a superhero role in the past.<\/p>\n

Glen Powell Isn\u2019t Above Being in a Superhero Movie<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Despite appearing in hit films like Top Gun: Maverick and Hit Man, Powell hasn\u2019t forgotten where he came from. One of his earliest jobs was playing a stockbroker whom Bane terrorizes in The Dark Knight Rises. While it wasn\u2019t a glamorous role, it gave him an appreciation for the genre that endures to this day.<\/p>\n

In 2024, Powell explained during a discussion with The Playlist<\/a> that he\u2019s game for a superhero role; he\u2019s just waiting for one of the big studios to reach out.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, I\u2019ve never gotten a call from DC or Marvel,\u00a0but I\u2019m a fan of everything they do,\u201d he explained. \u201cI just saw Deadpool & Wolverine. I freaking had a blast. I think what Shawn Levy and Ryan Reynolds did with that is extraordinary and just such a fun flavor for audiences. And I cheer for them, and I love what [they do.]\u201d<\/p>\n
