MCU’s Future Star-Lord Replacement Gets Epic Fan Poster Teasing Impending Show

Marvel Studios’ perfect cosmic replacement for Peter Quill’s Star-Lord has been imagined in a brilliant fan-poster for the upcoming Nova project in the MCU. A live-action MCU project featuring Marvel Comics’ Richard Rider, a.k.a. Nova, was confirmed to be in development in March 2022, but since the initial announcement, information on the upcoming project has been incredibly scarce. 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy provided a first look at the MCU’s Nova Corps, of which Richard Rider becomes the flagship hero in Marvel Comics, but with Disney and Marvel Studios slowing down production on all upcoming MCU projects, it may be some time before Nova actually debuts in live-action.

Despite not much being known about Marvel Studios’ upcoming Nova project, many are still excited to see the cosmic superhero be introduced into the ever-growing MCU. With the Multiverse Saga and the MCU’s cosmic stories continuing to develop, a new fan-poster imagining Richard Rider’s Nova in the MCU has been shared by Hazzaa Jarrar.

The art depicts Richard Rider in a comic-accurate Nova costume using his flight ability surrounded by the logo of the Nova Corps that was previously seen in the MCU. Since there has currently been no official word on when the MCU’s Nova project might actually release, many are hoping for new details regarding the project soon.

What We Know About The MCU’s Nova Project

Very little has been revealed about Marvel Studios’ Nova since its initial announcement in March 2022, and production on the project has seemingly been pushed back even further following Marvel Studios’ recent decision to implement a slower development process. Sabir Pirzada, writer on several Moon Knight and Ms. Marvel episodes, was attached to Nova early on as a writer, but the identity of a showrunner, directors and other crew hasn’t been revealed. Additionally, though Nova was originally thought to be a feature film, it has since been reported that Nova will now take the form of a Disney+ series in the MCU’s future.

No casting choices have been officially revealed by Marvel Studios for the role of Richard Rider, but fan-casts have suggested the likes of Ryan Gosling, Tom Cruise, Miles Teller and Glen Powell as the cosmic hero. Following the events of Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers: Infinity War, Marvel Studios’ Nova project is expected to provide some insight into Thanos’ attack on Xandar and the Nova Corps, and his obtaining of the Power Stone. With Chris Pratt’s Star-Lord Earth-bound after Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, there is excitement for Richard Rider’s Nova to take his place as the MCU’s newest cosmic hero.
