Iron Man 3’s Ty Simpkins on Whether Harley Could Be Nova [Exclusive]

In an interview with ComicBook.com scheduled to go live later today, Iron Man 3 star Ty Simpkins shared with us that he’s intrigued by reports that his character could turn out to be the young Marvel hero Nova.Asked where he thought his character might be by the time Marvel was prepared to make a potential Iron Man 4, Simpkins admitted that he hadn’t given it much thought–but also suggested that some Internet conspiracy theories are pretty interesting.”Well, I actually never thought about that but we did read an article. Have you ever heard about the comic book Nova?” Simpkins asked. “We read an article about how Harley might be my middle name, and Keener could be my mom’s maiden name, and my dad could have joined the Nova Corps. Then my real name’s Richie and I actually figure it out because my mom gets killed by an alien, then I figure out that my dad joined the Nova Corps, and I join the Nova Corps and I become Nova.”
