Marvel dropped Guardians Of The Galaxy this year and it proved to be a massive box office success for them. With a sequel already being in the works, fans started speculating that Nova would make an appearance in it. Well, now director James Gunn has come to crash these dreams of theirs down.

With the intergalactic polic-like Nova Corps expected to appear in Guardians Of The Galaxy 2, fans worked their magic and came to the conclusion that Nova himself could be featured in the 2017 sequel. However, James Gunn though he should make things clear and shut down the rumors. In a recent Facebook post, he revealed:

“I don’t want Nova right now because I think [Peter] Quill being the only earthling is important. That serves the entire movie going audience and not just the handful of Nova fans… I have nothing against Nova in future movies, but it doesn’t serve the movie right this moment.”

Fans of Marvel’s comic books are very well-aware of who Nova is and what he’s up to. For those who don’t know him, he’s a guy named Richard Rider who joined the Nova Corps. Despite being a human being, he’s managed to develop his very own abilities and he’s all about keeping things quiet and peaceful throughout the galaxy. If anything, he would definitely mark as a great addition in Guardians Of The Galaxy. However, we’re sure Gunn has something in mind for him and that’s the only reason we won’t get to see him yet.

Guardians Of The Galaxy 2 is expected to arrive in theaters on May 5, 2017.
