The iconic superhero, Nova, is finally getting ready to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as a Marvel Studios executive confirms plans to bring them into live-action.
In a new interview with Comic Book, Marvel Studios’ Head of Television, Streaming, and Animation, Brad Winderbaum confirmed the long-time rumor that Richard Rider, a.k.a. Nova, is indeed being eyed for the MCU. Stressing that they are in “really early development” on Nova, Winderbaum confirmed that they are hopeful for an MCU movie or TV show centered on Richard, sharing the following:
We love Nova. We are in really early development on Nova. We have a new system behind-the-scenes at Marvel Studios. We’re more like a traditional studio now. We’re developing more than we actually will produce. There are plans to develop Nova. I love Nova, too. I love Rich Rider, too. I hope it gets to the screen. The world is always chaos. There’s always things. You gotta conjure these things to make them happen but I would love to see a Nova show, one day.
