The latest Barside Buzz says a Nova Disney + series to begin production next year, plus Hawkeye renewed for Season 2. Let’s start with Nova which has been rumored to be in development for quite some time at Marvel Studios. Whether the project would be a movie or a show was seemingly undecided. However, Daniel RPK claims on his Patreon that Nova will now be a Disney+ series.
RPK also says that production will begin on the show next year. As for what to expect, RPK claims that the studio is looking for a younger (20’s) lead actor. This led the leaker to speculate that it may be that Sam Alexander and not Richard Rider that’s the lead character. However, many fans have pointed out this theory does not really pan out. Sam has been portrayed younger than that in the comics and the current comic book version of Richards is in his mid 20’s. We also therefore need to point out that RPK never claimed it would be Sam. Some other leakers have questioned this since it dropped. He simply said he thought it may be based on the age profile of the casting call.
So, we are probably a step closer to getting a Nova project and that’s a good thing. This one has been in development for an age, so let’s hope they finally have a good direction to take it.

‘Hawkeye has been renewed for a second season. Clint’s brother, Barney, will play a major role, and the season will be inspired by The Raid, with Kate and Clint stuck in one location.’
I actually like the idea of Clint and Kate stuck somewhere having to fend off hordes of attackers. It kinda fits with that action/comedy tone Season 1 set. As for the brother Barney thing, well I must admit I never knew Clint had a brother until I read this. I can’t say I read many Hawkeye comics as a kid, just caught him in Avengers comics mostly.
Also, I’m sure this may actually be a series renewal most fans are happy about. Far as I can recall most fans thought Hawkeye was decent and liked Kate and Clint’s relationship. So why not I say?
What do you think of the Barside Buzz that a Nova Disney + series to begin production next year, plus Hawkeye renewed for Season 2? Thoughts below as always.
