Several months ago longtime nerd Nathan Fillion (Castle) revealed that he has a small role in director James Gunn upcoming Marvel film Guardians of the Galaxy. He wouldn't reveal who it was but many assumed it would literally be nothing more than a quick shot of his face as an unnamed character. He did mention to make sure to "check the credits" but we didn't know if his name would just be in the credits or he was actually in a post-credit scene.
Today Dave over at Latino-Review reveals that according to his source that Nova Prime himself Richard Rider is expected to appear in the post-credit scene of Guardians of the Galaxy! He did go onto to speculate that Nathan Fillion could actually be playing Richard Rider himself but was unable to confirm it.
The rumors of my pal @NathanFillion playing Nova in #guardiansofthegalaxy have been greatly (and entirely) exaggerated. Sorry, humans.
