Scott Porter Would Love To Play ‘Nova’ In ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’

Scott Porter is definitely no stranger to Marvel. Porter was one of the contenders to portray Captain America and has expressed interest in the past in portraying Danny Rand aka Iron Fist. He’s even worked with Marvel before, voicing Scott Summers aka Cyclops in the X-Men anime.  In a recent interview with MTV the actor expressed interest in portraying another of Marvel’s characters.

“Marvel just announced that they’re doing ‘Guardians of the Galaxy,’ which is another property that I love. I read it growing up. I’d love to play Nova.”

I think any kid who gets into the acting business, they have a couple of things that they always wanted to do. For me, it was like, play a war hero; play an athlete, which I’ve gotten to do; die a horrible death in a horror movie, which I’ve gotten to do; and then be a superhero. I’ve marked two things off the list, and I’m working on the others.

Gunn is a unique choice. I think he could be a really great shephard for that property,” added Porter. “I think ‘Guardians’ is going to be a lot of fun. I think it’ll be very cool. I thought the next thing I might try and go after is ‘Heroes for Hire,’ but it looks like ‘Guardians’ is around, so…”

The actor then went on to state that he definitely wants to portray a superhero at one point and that it was one of the things on his to-do list. It’s been rumored that Nova would appear in Guardians Of The Galaxy and I really haven’t though much of it until now. But I honestly wouldn’t be against this one. He obviously knows his source material. What do you guys think?
