It would seem that the role the likes of Hugh Laurie and Ken Watanabe were being looked at for James Gunn's Guardians Of The Galaxy has actually gone to Glenn Close, as according to Deadline the multi-time Oscar nominated actress has signed on to play "a leadership role in Nova Corp, the intergalactic space patrol". In the comic this would be Nova Prime, but the site doesn't reveal whether that name will be retained, or any more info unfortunately. Close joins an already very impressive cast which includes Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Lee Pace, Michael Rooker -- and it seems John C. Reilly is officially on board now also.

Wow! Didn't see this coming! This pretty much confirms that the Nova Corps will be appearing in the film!

Could this mean we'll see this guy on screen?

I already expected the Nova Corps ever since the first Concept Art was released.

I don't think we're gonna be seeing "the" Nova, though.

This movie needs a REALLY good trailer to even remotely excite me... 2014 will def be Captain America, Spiderman and Days of Future Past as my most anticipated... Same for Thor: The Dark World, first trailer looked Meh... Besides having the obvious return of Loki (Thors big selling point) the trailer didn't do anything to impress me

Marvel is always unexpected, and I like that. I can't say much more than that, as I'm not a Guardians of the Galaxy expert, but so far so good.
