Earlier I reported that Ty Simpkins (who plays Harley in
Iron Man 3) was interested in playing the Marvel character, Nova on the big screen. Saying in the interview he would be "Richie". Well Ty has now confirmed in an interview with
ComicBook.Com that he has signed a contract with Marvel Studios that will continue even after
Iron Man 3 . This does start speculation, was Ty correct about his character eventually becoming Nova in a future
Avengers movie or even a
Nova film?
Comicbook.com: So did you sign a multi-picture deal? Or is this a one time thing?
Simpkins: I have a three-movie contract; now there are two more movies left in my contract but I have to earn those role of course.
Comicbook.com: Well, a lot of people expect Nova to show up in Guardians of the Galaxy, so if that does happen you’d know pretty quick.
Simpkins: Yeah!
ComicBook.com: You didn’t get to wear the armor; would you like to do that eventually?
Simpkins: Yeah–I mean, I should definitely get to at least try on the suit, maybe trash a few cars–but I did get to try on the finger. That was pretty fun in the scene.
So how do you feel about this? I thought Ty Simpkins gave a excellent performance in
Iron Man 3 so I would be extremely happy for his character to one day become the iconic superhero, Nova. Leave you comments below!
