Hollywood star Ryan Gosling's name was brought up as a possible strong contender to play Marvel's Nova, who is said to be getting a live-action 🐟movie.
However, the actor has apparently shut down the speculation. In an interview with 'Happy Sad Confused' host Josh Horowitz, the 41-year-old actor ruled out the p♓ossibility of him playing a member of the Nova Corps, though he revealed his interest in playing another superhero, reports aceshowbiz.com.
Rumors emerged earlier this week that Marvel Studio is developing a Nova project, though detail♛s were scarce.
Later, it was reported that the project will take the form of a limited series on Disney+, akin to 'Moon Knight'. Further fuelling⛄ the speculation t꧋hat the project would be brought to life as a series is a fact that 'Moon Knight' writer Sabir Pirzada is attached to the Nova project.
Gosling is currently busy filming 'Barbie', a live-action adaptation of the Mattel toy line. The 'Blade Runner 2049' star portrays Ken in the film, which is directed by Greta Gerwig and based on a sꦕcreenplay written by herself and Noah Baumbach. He stars opposite Margot Robbie, who plays the titular character.
Plot details remain scarce𒐪, but the actress has said t♋hat the film's goal was to subvert expectations.
"... we like the things that feel a little left of center. Something like Barbie where the IP, the name itself, people immediately have an idea of, 'Oh, Mar⭕got is playing🃏 Barbie, I know what that is,' but our goal is to be like, 'Whatever you're thinking, we're going to give you something totally different - the thing you didn't know you wanted,' " she told The Hollywood Reporter in April.
She added: "Now, can we truly honor the IP and the fan base and also surprise people? Because if we can do all that and provoke a thoughtful conversation, then🦩 we're really firing on all cylinders."
