GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY: Nova Corps Alternate Armor

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY: Nova Corps Alternate Armor

A leaked image from Guardians of the Galaxy: The Art of the Movie (out next week) reveals an alternate armor design for the Nova Corps that looks a lot like the armor that Nova wears....

Kevin Feige previously stated that Nova was originally in an earlier draft of Guardians of the Galaxy, but the character was eventually cut from the film to make the cosmic adventure more Star-Lord -centric. Perhaps development on the character progressed far enough for concept art to be produced, as this illustration from Guardians of the Galaxy: The Art of the Movie features a much more detailed version of the standard armor worn by the Corpsman in the film. With James Gunn currently hard at work on Guardians of the Galaxy 2, perhaps Nova makes his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in that film? But the question is which one - Richard Rider or Sam Alexander?

There's a strong theory among the fan communitty that the Nova Corps members in the MCU will be organized by rank - Corpsman, Millenians, Denarians, Centurion and Nova Prime; and that the members featured in Guardians of the Galaxy were only Corpsman.  Perhaps in the sequel, this is the armor that will be worn by Denarians or Centurions?

The subtle red is ok on movie version, but like that concept...After they use the power stone to replenish corps, probably look more like concept...

This helmet can now be used for Nova Centurions going further distinguishing them from the lowly ones we saw.

Hopefully it will be Richard Rider. Sam Alexander can be brought in to help rebuild the Nova corp. Since alot of people are comparing this to Star Wars then might it take a similar turn in the second movie. Thanos winning.

Here are the facts
- The power Gem is located in Nova Corp homebase
- Thanos needs that and wants it
- Thanos has had no luck getting good help so he will do it himself.
- The Nova corp wont be able to stop him.
- The Guardians will be brought in after he takes the stone to attempt to stop him or slow him down.
- Marvel would like to get some of the Thanos backstory out of the way before he appears in a Avengers movie.

I see Thanos destorying the whole Nova Corp. They need to flex his power and strength. I mean how else are we suppose to believe he is a real threat to the avengers.

My thoughts
- Nova(Richard Rider) will make an appearance and be the last surviving corp. We will see Rhomann Dey get murdered by Thanos.
- Drax will die at the end to the hands of Thanos. Drax will look to have the upperhand and then Thanos takes it back and kills him. This will be an emotional and shocking ending (except if you read the Thanos imperative)
- Thanos will leave and continue on his path of destruction.
- Adam Warlock will appear to assist in some way. possible exit the team with the soul gem.

This will be a completely different tone to the franchise but it worked very well for Star Wars and will be a good device to demostrate the power of Thanos.

i want to drax to be assumed dead (perhaps he crashed a ship and was then abondened on the planet" after a fight with thanos's forces. then he is found by the mentor and chronos who then give him the power to kill thanos like in the comics

True, true.

That woulda been better than what they had in the movie. The official version looks like a poor-man's Judge Dredd armor. Very lackluster.

I think they want to Save this design for Richard Rider Nova… Looks way more badass than the one they used on the Nova Corps in the movie.

Damn...They messed up here in the decision making. This helmet is about a billion times better than what they used.
