Avengers: Infinity War About 45 minutes of footage originally had to be edited before the final cut, and now the MCU has the chance to bring back one of the most anticipated cut scenes in a future project. It’s not surprising for a Marvel movie to trim scenes for time. Even if the scene is cut, Avengers: Infinity War It ended up being nearly two and a half hours long. With so many characters to focus on, it’s no wonder Marvel decided to trim some scenes that had nothing to do with the Avengers.

Nova Can Show Siege of Xandar
Siege of Xandar deleted from Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
Biggest cutscene Avengers: Infinity War This is an extended sequence where Thanos besieges Xandar and kills half the population. However, now that Marvel has announced that Project Nova is in the early stages of development, this scene could be repurposed as an origin story. Given Nova’s close ties to Xandar, it would be a meaningful way to tie the Nova project to other activities in the MCU.
Xandar is the home of the Nova Corps, and if Nova was already a member of the Nova Corps, Thanos’ elimination of them would be a major inciting incident for Nova. Alternatively, if the Marvel Universe’s Nova hasn’t been drafted yet, Siege could lead directly to the Nova Corps recruiting Richard Rider like in the comics. Regardless, it seems unlikely that the destruction of the Nova Corps homeworld and the deaths of many of its members will have at least some impact on the future heroes’ stories.

While The Siege of Xandar was undoubtedly an impactful introduction to Thanos and his methods, it would make sense for Marvel to cut it. The Avengers don’t enter the story until after the siege. This means that if the scene had been retained, audiences would have had to wait nearly an hour to see the hero they came to the theater with. This can make the movie feel more bloated, even if what’s happening on screen is visually exciting.
In Project Nova, Thanos attacking Xandar wouldn’t be so out of place because there’s a direct relationship between the hero and the events happening on screen. This means the scene won’t seem so out of place.excluding scenes Avengers: Infinity War Marvel made the right decision by giving this movie a tighter story. However, since the scene fits so well within the Nova project, they should at least reference it.
The siege of Xandar will give the Nova Corps a reason to have more powerful heroes
MCU Nova Corps Did Not Showcase Nova Force’s Power
In the Marvel comics, Nova gains her powers from something called the Nova Force. It is the source of strength that all Nova Corps members draw from. However, when Richard Rider became the last of the Novas, he gained powers far beyond those displayed by any Nova Corps member in the Marvel Universe to date. A good explanation for this is that a large portion of the Legion, if not the entire force, was wiped out during Thanos’ attack.
Thanos’ attack on Xandar could even serve as an origin story for Richard Rider’s rise to stardom. In the comics, Knight is an ordinary teenager who is chosen by the last surviving Nova Centurion to inherit the power of the Nova Force.Marvel could easily modify abridged versions of cutscenes from Avengers: Infinity War as the beginning of its Nova project and establishing a similar origin for the MCU version of Nova.
