‘Nova’ Rumor Suggests Jonathan Bailey Is Being Eyed To Play Richard Rider In The MCU

Has the MCU finally found its Richard Rider? Wicked breakout Jonathan Bailey is at the center of the latest rumor for the Nova Disney Plus series.

Almost every actor with a buzz cut, stubble and a solid jaw line has been rumored to star in the project, with Brandon Sklenar being the most recent thespian to gain traction by the MCU fandom. That list grows even longer with the latest rumor from MyTimeToShineHello, which suggests that Wicked and Fellow Travelers star Jonathan Bailey is being considered to bring Richard Rider to life in the MCU. If he lands that part, it’s likely Bailey wouldn’t have the time or bandwidth to handle a Disney Plus series set in the MCU alongside the likely Sisyphean task of portraying Batman on the silver screen.
