Reds8n brings coal for everyone's stocking.

Well, it's about time he got into Marvel stuff as well. Voicing Hal was always good, and I agree: he was more appropriate to play the live action than Reynolds (and I'm a huge RR fan).

Yessssssss!

Go Mal Go!

Nathan Fillion playing Nova? Sweeeeeeet.

Should be cool. A Nova Corps film or even a TV series would be pretty awesome. And it'll prove to DC that Marvel can do Green Lantern but better.

I doubt TV series any time soon, as IIRC, his main gig as Castle has been renewed for another year. (sadly...)

Somebody is going to have to get back in shape. Castle has let him get a bit chunky.

Anyone working with marvel knows that hahaha

Who's this Rider guy?

"According to a mighty internet sleuth" =/= "Announced"

It's all well and good that someone has found this out (assuming it's true), but this isn't an official announcement by Marvel Studios by any stretch of the imagination.

Have you not Wikipedia?

Dang, was hoping he would reprise his role as the "Holy Avenger".

As overrated shows go, Firefly has to be near the top of the list.

Overrated does not necessarily mean something is bad. While it's most devoted fans tend to exaggerate its qualities by quite a bit, it didn't change the fact that it was still quite good to begin with. Just because it's not the "absolute best ever" does not mean that it is trash either.

I thought it was pretty bad.

Well thanks for that inclusion.

Wow, I find myself agreeing with Seaward. I should check for flying pigs.

But yeah, I never understood the hype for the series, nor the actor.

So we've learned from this thread that two of you have terrible taste in TV programs. Fair enough.

and actors for that matter.

Found the online article I read awhile back where he teased a convention audience about a possible appearance: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/133552-Nathan-Fillion-Teases-Guardians-of-the-Galaxy-Cameo

Not Nova then.

Would have been a bit odd with the R. Rider version being dead ( ..currently....) and there being a younger newer Nova currently.


My guess is he'l have a role but you won't see him.

Personally reckon he might voice

in a little cameo or it'll be something like Ego the LIving planet.

Agreed, first it was Python and now Firefly.

Marvel just seems to NOT want to give DC a break, do they?

To be fair, I think almost every sci-fi series is unwatchable. I just can't watch low budget special effects, suspension of disbelief can't make that stretch.

Also, the ship in firefly looks like a handicapped lama.

See what I mean? Might want to change the thread title now...

Firefly was a cute show. It's not worth the hype (what could be?), but it stands out just because there tends to be so much blah sci-fi on TV. Firefly was better and smarter than the norm, I thought.

The popularity of Nathan Fillion on the other hand is completely unexplainable. He's an OK TV actor.

He is very personable and friendly, I suppose.

I didn't really think he was awesome in Firefly, but I love him in Castle.

He's also ruggedly handsome.

Im glad, I think both firefly and Fillion are overrated.

I think it's that he has some equivalent to that ambiguous quality of something-or-other that is what make Felicia Day so popular.
